Yes it can. Tall buidings have lightning conductors which are hit several times every year. It is estimated that there are 8,000,000 lightning strikes every day.

Not only does it hit the same place more than once, several people have been hit more than once.

Sometimes in Florida where they have a lot of lightning and they have tree nurseries They have trees called lightning trees. These trees don't get sold they are there because they have been struck by lightning before which means they are one of the tallest trees in the grove they are there so they can attract lightning so the lightning doesn't strike other trees. So if your out in an open field every time when it is raining and lightning is going on too, you may get struck more than once.
It can and often has.

Can lighting strike more than once?

Each lightning "strike" is typically many (perhaps a hundred) bursts of electrons moving in ever longer paths from the earth to a cloud or between clouds. It is rare for a lightning bolt to strike the same location on different occasions but lightning rods will conduct electricity and many have done so for a great number of lightning strikes.

Do ships get struck by lightning?

Sailboats with high mast get struck every so often. Small fiberglass boats hardly ever get struck. in the last ten years, only 8 fiberglass boats under 35ft have been reported struck by lightning. Thats less than one per year! These studies have been compiled with using insurance/acturary statistics. Large steel vessels and tall sailboats with conductive mast's are more likely to get struck, but even those numbers are suprisingly low.


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.


Can lightning travel though concrete?

Yes, lightning can travel through concrete because it is a conductive material. When lightning strikes concrete, it can follow the path of least resistance, which includes the moisture and metal reinforcement within the concrete. This can result in damage to the concrete and surrounding structures.

Does lightning ever hit twice?

yes it can because the speed of light can go against the gravity and make a shocking slash of light crash to the ground 0000.01 seconds after the first strike. The electrical static and current cause it to hit the ground because there's a strong conductor that's pulling it down which is a problem because it causes mayjor damage and fires, etc Dr.Lipshitz
