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.
When lightning strikes twice in the same place, it means that the area has a higher probability of being struck due to certain factors such as tall buildings or trees. Lightning tends to follow the path of least resistance, so areas that have been struck before are more likely to be struck again.
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.
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.
Depends on what town you're talking about. You first have to determine the chance of your town getting hit ONCE by a tornado. Oklahoma City has a much higher risk of getting hit by a tornado than Los Angeles, CA...So therefore the risk of Oklahoma City getting struck by 2 tornadoes would be much higher than Los Angeles.
Yes, it is possible for a tornado to hit the same place more than once. Tornadoes can follow similar paths or even "cycle" back on themselves, causing multiple impacts in the same area.
Yes.
Lightning not only can strike the same place twice, it frequently does.
Yes, lightning can strike the same place multiple times. Tall structures like skyscrapers and lightning rods are likely candidates for repeated strikes due to their height and conductive properties that attract lightning.
Yes it can.
I see no reason why it should not strike twice in one place. This sounds more like an unconfirmed rumor than a scientific fact.
The saying "lightning never strikes twice in the same place" is a commonly held belief, but it is not a scientific theory. In reality, lightning can and does strike the same location multiple times, especially tall structures like skyscrapers and towers.
Lighting the same place twice can occur for several reasons, such as miscommunication between individuals responsible for the task, a malfunction in the lighting system, or human error. It is important to ensure clear communication and coordination to prevent this from happening.
When lightning strikes twice in the same place, it means that the area has a higher probability of being struck due to certain factors such as tall buildings or trees. Lightning tends to follow the path of least resistance, so areas that have been struck before are more likely to be struck again.
There will be infinite amounts of earthquakes, but they rarely strike the same place twice, like lightning.
Yes! A-Rod Too! Who said lightning does not strike twice in the same place?
Nope - lightning can strike the same place multiple times if the object presents enough ionic attraction to ground the charge.
Yes! The title is A-Rod Too! Who said lightning does not strike twice in the same place?
