Question: Can lightning strike in the same place more than once

Keywords: ,

  1. While it is unlikely, it can happen. Just like you could win the lotto twice!

  2. Yes it can, especially if you have set up equipment to “encourage” it to happen, e.g. a lightning rod. Otherwise it’s fairly unlikely, but it’s probably more likely than winning lotto twice!

  3. Yes it happens and happens quite a lot! Particularly in areas where lighting strikes are relatively frequent. Such strikes hit man-made metallic structures including skyscrapers, communication towers and other tall buildings.

    It can also happen in natural environments if there is a prominent point or metallic feature (natural rock) in the landscape.
