Surely you have heard thunder and seen lightening during a storm - what you can see and measure is fact not myth.

Is it a myth or a fact that lightning never strikes twice in the same place?

No,it can fall dozens of time in the same place. Go to starryskies.com/Artshtml/dln/5-00/lightening.htmlor wvlightning.com/lmwn1a.shtmlDepending on your interpretation of the myth, it can be true, there has never been a recorded instance where a lightning hit in the same way rather than the more famous interpretation of the end position.


LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE. IT IS THE MYTH OR A FACT?

Lightning can strike anywhere and it is certain that over geological time ALL places on Earth have been struck more than once. In cases where something on the surface may build up an electrical charge at a point (eg a lightening rod) then the lightning will certainly strike it much more frequently. Also if one films a SINGLE lightning strike at high speed, it is clear that what we see as a single strike is in fact many strikes, one after the other using the same ionised discharge path between the sky and earth. So a single lightning bolt actually strikes the same place more than once.
