Does lighting strike twice in the same place?

3M investigates the myth: does lightning strike twice in the same place.

This statement is more about science than it is luck, according to adhesives company 3M.

Tall isolated buildings like the iconic Empire State Building in New York City get struck by lightning around 25 times a year on average due to their height.

Other locations where warm moist air comes in contact with higher cold air can become a lightning hot spot.
