Is it true that lightning never hits twice on a point?

We often hear that lightning never hits the same position twice, is that so?

According to HowStuffWorks, the danger of a lightning bolt is obvious: a lightning strike can be fatal. The National Weather Agency (USA) estimates that 93 people were killed and 300 people were injured by lightning strikes every year. You may not suffer from terrible burns, but what you get is brain and nerve damage. This is not a "friendly" electric current like the way we see in animated movies (characters have almost nothing after being struck by lightning).

A lightning strike can kill people.

Indeed lightning is scary and should be avoided at all costs, so what is the best way to avoid lightning strikes? Lying on the ground? Wear rubber shoes? Or just look at what spot lightning has hit, run in and stand there because the lightning doesn't hit a point twice?

Lying on the ground only increases the ability of electricity to pass from the ground to a friend.

Don't do that. Do not do that. A short lesson on the first two points of view: Lying on the ground only increases the ability of electricity to pass from the ground to a friend. This is a bad idea. Second, rubber shoes do not protect you from the power of a lightning bolt. If you have shoes, it's best to run quickly to the shelter.

Lightning does not have any memory to ignore a previously hit point.

The last way is based on an unfounded judgment.Lightning does not have any memory to ignore a previously hit point. Even lightning tends to hit a point many times . If you look at a high-rise building, such as the Empire State Building, every year lightning can hit the top of the building 100 times. Large TV towers can be struck by lightning every 30 seconds during a major storm. In areas with frequent thunderstorms, each average plot of soil will be struck back every 100 years.

Best advice to avoid lightning? Find a hideout, home, car or any home.
