It means something unique won't happen again.
Today in Milton Keynes we had three strides about 70 metres apart by about 10 minutes
It can, it's just a figure of speech
It is a myth.
yes
Many people (not necessarily scientiest or meteorologists) think that lightning will not strike the same place twice. So they say that it is rare for lightning to strick twice, meaning twice at the same place. This term is used to imply something that is rare.
Lightning can (and sometimes does) strike twice in the same place. it usually strikes three times in the same place it just apears to be one.
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.
Lightning commonly strikes the same place many times. Lightning is static electricity, generated in the collisions between the clouds. The lightning wants to ground itself by striking something with a good electrical pathway to the earth. That could be a tall tree, or a steeple, or a house chimney, or any tall object that will intercept the lightning strike and bring it to ground. Lightning will strike twice if the same place it struck before is still a good, high, electrical path to the ground, and if no better places have been built.
One candidate for the "lightning capital of the world" is the state of Florida. Its location just north of the Tropic of Cancer, between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, produces more thunderstorms than any other US state. The city of Tampa, on the Gulf Coast, received an astounding 50,000 lightning strikes in one month. (June, 1994) One nickname for the city is "lightning capital of the nation." Johannesburg, South Africa (one of the three capitals) also has a claim on the title. Lightning kills more than 260 people a year in South Africa. The world location that receives the most lightning is actually the small landlocked country of Rwanda, near Lake Victoria in west Africa. Despite being only 1/6th the size of Florida, it receives more than twice as many lightning strikes per year.
Myth
It is just another myth

Lightning can strikes back at one place but it's just a very very small percentage about 0.00001 percent but it can happen it's not impossible.
It usually means that the same chance occurrence cannot happen twice.
Lightning Strikes Twice was created in 1989-09.
The question is meaningless. It is a corrupt attempt to quote the old saw "Lightning never strikes the same place twice.", which in itself is wildly false.

its a myth because i was struck by lightning three times in the same spot in 25 seconds. read about it in my book "Struck by lightning" by Stephen Person
