The Empire State Building is struck by lightning approximately 100 times per year.
She is struck by lightning around 300 times each year.about 300 times a yearNo doubt. It is to be expected for something that tall.
It is not rare that the Eiffel Tower is struck by lightning. It has very large lightning rods that are grounded and dissipate the charge without major damage.

Seven.
In most cases it is lightning. Any cloud-to-ground lighting bolt can kill while rain is usually harmless. Rain, too, can be dangerous if it leads to flooding.
The Empire State Building is struck by lightning about 25 times per year on average. With its height and location in a lightning-prone area, it acts as a lightning rod and is well-equipped to handle these strikes.
Jorge Marquez, a Cuban farmer, was struck by a lightning 5 times during his life. That's second most anyone has been hit, record is 7 times, by Roy C. Sullivan.
Matt Thompson in Keystone Colorado was struck directly through his body. There are stories of people all over the world that have got hit by a lightning and survived. A key factor is that they have been working out and been covered in sweat or being very wet from rain itself. This seem to have saved them from the actual current going through the body instead of outside of body. Some people wearing necklaces have even had these melted/burned into the skin around their neck due to the intense power of the lightning. I have even heard about one single person being hit by lightning 3 times. I think the lightning got the better of him the last time, but he survived the first two. It is an interesting fact that people can survive such an experience. It is however so many people throughout the world with such an experience that it is a bit difficult to actually make a list of them all here. I cant really see the use of it. I am sure most of them prefer a nice and calm life.
