Lightning strikes twice

The idea that lightning never strikes the same place twice is a myth. According to National Wildlife magazine, not only does lightning often strike the same place more than once, some areas like Castle Rock, Colorado and Cape Canaveral, Florida are struck frequently. Upward moving air causes a lot of lightning activity near the Continental Divide, while converging sea breezes attract the lightning on the Florida coastline.
