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.

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.
Do rainbows appear in the same place on different days?
If you are in the same place, the rainbow will always appear in the same place because it all has to do with the angle you are at in relation to the sun (42 degrees - see the related link). So if you are always in the same spot (e.g. at your desk at work), the sun will be coming from the same same angle, creating the rainbow in the same spot. My understanding of what I've read, you'll only see a rainbow in a certain place in the sky from the same spot at a certain time of the year because the sun moves depending on the season. Also, it is not only the angle of the sun but also the height of it that has to be the same.
How does the angle at which the Suns rays strike the earth affect the temperature at earth surface?
If the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a direct spot, which is usually around the equator, that area would be the warmest. Any area that is far away from the sun's rays is usually cold.
When surveyors find oil pockets in the ground what other fossil fuel most likely will be in the same spot?
If surveyors find oil pockets in the ground, it is likely that natural gas may also be located in the same spot. This is because oil and natural gas are often found together in underground reservoirs due to their similar formation processes.
What are the five Hot Spots on the Earth?
There are more than just five hot spots throughout the whole Earth. There is the Tasman hot spot, the Hawaii hot spot, the Galapagos hot spot, the Yellowstone hot spot, Easter Island hot spot, Bouvet hot spot, St. Helena hot spot, the Canary Islands hot spot, and then Iceland hot spot.
Does lighting strike twice in the same spot?
Yes, lightning can strike the same spot more than once. Tall structures like buildings and trees are often struck repeatedly because they provide a direct path to the ground for the electrical discharge.
What does this idiom mean lightning doesn't strike the same place twice?
This isn't an idiom because it means exactly what it says. It is an old saying or proverb. Lightning doesn't seem to strike twice in any one spot, so people say that when they hope that something horrible isn't going to happen again.

yes twice
Does lighting ever strike in the same spot?
Most likely. I've never seen it with my own eyes, but that's because it's just so rare. The empire state building and the sears tower get struck by lightning many times a year.
Why can't you step in the same river twice?
You can't step in the same river twice means that you can't step in the same spot in the river twice. This is legit because when you step on a spot, the soil or sand in the water and the water moves here and there and you don't know where it went. You can't step on a place you don't know where it is. Do you know what i mean?

How many low tides happen in the same spot each day?
most low tides happen only twice a day.
Evidence on why ligthing never strikes the same place twice a myth?
The notion that lightning never strikes the same place twice is a myth. Lightning can strike the same location repeatedly, especially tall structures or high points that attract lightning due to their conductivity. In fact, some areas are more prone to lightning strikes due to geographic features or weather patterns.
