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.
The Book Eagle strike takes place in three main places. The first location is in Southern France. To narrow that down it takes place in Paris. Another location of Eagle Strike is Amsterdam.
It can be. It can also be a literal command to place one foot in front of the other and walk forward. As an idiom, it means to take small steps in order to reach a goal.
It's not an idiom, but a Biblical reference. It's the place where Joseph went in the Old Testament and it can be used as an exclamation to replace a swear word, as in "Land O'Goshen, what a lie you just told!"
"Strike" can either be a noun [a person, place, or thing] or a verb [an action]. depending on its usage in a sentence. Example of strike as a noun: "The workers went on strike." Example of strike as a verb: "Strike a match carefully, or you might get hurt."
"The Lightning Thief" was published in 2005, but it takes place basically in the present time period; I don't think it really takes place in the past or future :)
Lightning not only can strike the same place twice, it frequently does.
Nope - lightning can strike the same place multiple times if the object presents enough ionic attraction to ground the charge.
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, lightning can strike through a roof if the building is not properly grounded or protected by a lightning rod. Metal components such as wiring, pipes, or structural elements can conduct the electrical current from a lightning strike, potentially causing damage or fire. It is important for buildings in areas prone to lightning strikes to have proper lightning protection in place.
Lightning can strike the same place multiple times because it is attracted to tall and conductive objects like trees, buildings, and monuments. The Empire State Building, for example, is struck by lightning around 25 times a year.
It is just another myth
Only once. After that, the place is no longer there. No, seriously, lightning may strike the same place many times. Some places are just natural lightning rods, like radio antennas on tall buildings. outcroppings of rock on mountains -- any place that a static charge is able to build uninterrupted.
I see no reason why it should not strike twice in one place. This sounds more like an unconfirmed rumor than a scientific fact.
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.
It is just another myth
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?
