Surely you have heard thunder and seen lightening during a storm - what you can see and measure is fact not myth.

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.


Is it a myth or a fact that lightning never strikes twice in the same place?

No,it can fall dozens of time in the same place. Go to starryskies.com/Artshtml/dln/5-00/lightening.htmlor wvlightning.com/lmwn1a.shtmlDepending on your interpretation of the myth, it can be true, there has never been a recorded instance where a lightning hit in the same way rather than the more famous interpretation of the end position.


Is it true that geckos are attractive to lightning?

No, geckos are not attracted to lightning. This belief may stem from the fact that geckos are commonly found on walls where lightning might hit, but this is just a coincidence and not because they are attracted to lightning.


LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE. IT IS THE MYTH OR A FACT?

Lightning can strike anywhere and it is certain that over geological time ALL places on Earth have been struck more than once. In cases where something on the surface may build up an electrical charge at a point (eg a lightening rod) then the lightning will certainly strike it much more frequently. Also if one films a SINGLE lightning strike at high speed, it is clear that what we see as a single strike is in fact many strikes, one after the other using the same ionised discharge path between the sky and earth. So a single lightning bolt actually strikes the same place more than once.


Can you be struck by lightning even if you are not in rain?

Yes, lightning can strike even when it is not raining. In fact, lightning can travel long distances and strike outside of a rainy area. It is a common misconception that rain must be present for lightning to occur.

What is an non example of Myth?

The opposite of a myth is a fact. A myth could be something believed to be true when in fact it is false while a fact is something that has been proven. For example, a myth would be that shaving facial hair makes it grow back faster and thicker. A fact would be that the average human has 5 fingers on each hand.
