Yeah, that old myth about lightning never striking twice is so stupid...electricity always takes the path of least resistance and lightning is looking for the shortest path to ground. So if something is hit by lightning, then that means for whatever reason it is an easier, more conductive target and it is MORE LIKELY to get hit again!
ok ill admit its cool but its a little obvious that it will get struck its a tall building and lightning looks for the fastest way to reach the ground. so thats why. unless its sheet lightning
omg i was watching this and it was raining and when the lightning struck the building the first time i heard a gigantic BOOM and lightning struck a tree in my back yard!!!
I heard on discovery that when lightning strikes "once" its strikes around 2000 times but its going so fast we can't really see it. I'll have to look it up...

this is possible because the big metal rod of the ESB captures electricity,stores it,attracts lightning to it...thats my idea tell me yours sorry im just a kid
wow im jealous about your living place the view is amazing!
