Why doesn't lightning hit a place twice?

This is not true. Some places have been hit many times. The Empire State Building, for example, is hit by lightning an average of 100 times per year. If you looked at it from a simple perspective, most spots are never hit by lightning, but one bolt does not affect the chances of another striking. So the chances of the same spot getting hit twice completely at random are extremely low. However, lightning is not completely random. Tall objects naturally attract lightning, so objects such as towers and mountains tend to be struck fairly frequently.
