It struck once, it's just the return charges your camcorder caught, and it didn't catch every return charge either. It happens so fast that only a super highspeed camera can catch all the returns a lightning bolt has. Other wise you could say the lightning struck 45 times. But lightning does strike the same place twice, come out to Oklahoma and watch a thunderstorm where you have view of some antennas that are really tall, they will take several strikes during a good storm.
Well, I think lightning strikes wherever it strikes and how many times it strikes. You can't really count on anything, like your safe in your car. there is no certainty when it comes to lightning in my opinion.
the two lightnings are all the same,,its not 2 its only one,,,look well at the leaves on the tree in strike 1 and 2 and you will see that video has been manipulated
It's the same bolt. If your camera could see ultraviolet light you would see the bolt continues through all those frames and along the same path it just doesn't emit the same frequency of light the entire time.
it can, but the odds are rediciliously low for it to do so, probably won't happen for thousands of years to hit in the exact same place.. its all about odds (billions-to-one for every day) so we say it never strikes twice in the same place.
this video just shows a return strike, its nothing to do with the myth that dumb people can't understand
The myth isn't true; lightning does strike the same place more than once, but what you caught was one lightning bolt with two return strokes. If you don't know what that is, look it up.
I'm not saying it didn't happen twice in the same spot because you were on the other side of the trees, but if you put in the a axis, and got into the math, you could figure out. :P
@Logan2198 there was a very very good chance it hit the exact same spot twice because the first strike created absuloot perfect conditions for it to strike a seconds time (almost like laying a path for a second charge) lightning finds the lowest resistance to travel and since the first strike created a brilliant low resistance path the second strike already had a good low resistance path to take
its called a return strike, the myth is talking about another strike in the same place after that 1
it was midnight for me i was awake and went to the window (it was raining) and looked outside for some reason and i saw 3 lightning bolts, 2 struck the same place the 3rd hit pretty close by but not on the same spot
Not bad ...but check out this frightening wild lighting strikes storm at Clermont, Australia at: h t t p :// w w w [dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=x cCaSgLas3s
There is no such thing as a single lightning bolt. A strike is composed of many return streamers, all hitting the same point. It's happens so fast, it seems like one bolt of lightning. The person who made this video is obviously not schooled on this. He's not shown anything out of the ordinary. Oh, and by the way, that bolt of lightning in the video was too distant to draw any conclusions.
This video only shows 1 strike being ILLUMINATED twice. Ive seen them blink 5 or 6 times in a strike before, its not rare.
And also the legend of lightning never striking twice is only for objects close to the ground, and its only because of odds, and not that lightning cannot strike twice. It strikes the same places many times. The Sears Tower in Chicago for example, is hit many times each year. Most high buildings are hit many times a year.
ok guys, you're all missing the point. Scientists say lightning cant strike twice in the same place because the odds are rediciously low, but the charge from the first bolt has to dissapear first.
Technically its one bolt because the charge is still in the air, but after the charge has dissapeared (about 5 seconds later) its then said that lightning wont strike there again (because the odds are so damn low)
Seeing lightning strike several times like this isn't what the myth is about
@dwarfer777 If they say it can't because the odds are rediciously low than it can because even though it is a very slim chance, odds are it will happen eventually, whether someone sees it or not.
I don't think that anyone has enough insight or evidence to support the theory that lightning can't strike the same place more than once anything is possible and when it comes to nature there is no real understanding of what can actually happen.
We were also sitting on our patio during a storm and this guy next door to us had a tall tall radio tower. Lighting hit it and I think the only thing that save us was his boat garage, literlly blinding us with light. Needless to say we got our b***S in the HOUSE. LOLOL
We have a love of watching storms (in the Dallas area)and were standing on our front porch when a bolt of lighting hit the tree accross the street and within about 10 miuntes it was hit again.
To have a strike occur there must be two things that happen. #1 There must be a high concentration of - or + charged electrons. #2 The electrons must discharge their energy. Just like a magnet, - and + are attracted. So this charge must release to its polar opposite, or to ground. What you filmed is actually the same bolt, moving once to ground and then following the same path back into the cloud, discharging the energy. This is what causes lightning to flicker and is very common. Good video.
Just so you know, the reason it is impossible, is for this.
As you know, lightning releases an Electromagnetic Pulse, and since lightning is an electric charge, it would be negated by the previous strikes pulse.
actully acording to the science of meteoralegy the flicker 1 strike bolt is actully severl impulse strikes of that bolt, in short the first strike we saw could have been 6 strikes instead, wich meanse the second bolt could have been 4 more, wich toatles out 10 hits instead of two. don't take my word for it, look it up yourself...
Actually this happens quite often. Reason: First strike is often known as a "cold" strike or an initial strike. Just after the strike, the air is still ionized which makes it easier for another current to flow. Hence 2 almost identical strikes =)
i had once i was on holiday at oostende(belgium) and there was a huge thunderstorm i saw something like this video and i saw more than 1 of those lighningstrikes
That was the same strike. Besides, even if that was two different strikes, they probably did hit the exact same area, but not the exact same spot. Take the Empire state biulding for example. Lightning strikes the biulding over 1,000 times a year, but none of the bolts strike the exact same spot on the biulding.
the lightning hits the surface almost dies and then an new load comes true the same strike, it just can't strike 2times a one place:P and also the shame shape as the first imposible
I don't see why lightning can't strike the same spot twice. The chance of the lightning striking the same spot is sure very low, but it's not impossible.
"lightning never strikes twice" is now a myth and was taught in the 50s. scientists in the 80s disproved this, but some schools, especially those using older text books, still teach this. watch the discovery channel lightning episode and read current scientific articles on the subject.
lightning will flash alot of times in one spot. look closley at the shape of both of them. that shows that that same charge wuz still alive,and flsh more than once. thats my theory.
this is considered as one strike. for it to be two strikes the lightning should have completely different paths from clouds to ground. notice how the two look exactly the same. why theres a pause between the light from the lightning, i dont know but the connection is still there you just cant see it. im not telling you to follow my opinion. from my knowledge about lightning, it isnt really two different strikes of lightning.
its actually not striking in the same place, and never does... a lightning strik consists of 2 directions, down and up. first, it strikes down, and then it releases its energy upwards where it came from. do, the myth is true.
ok then explain this i have a video when lightning seems to hit the same place 13 times!! i slowed the vid down to find this out but unfotunately i did knot know how to put it on you tube in slow motion but u can still watch the vid
Actually it´s in both directions. The positive and negative electrodes of earth and clouds intercept in air and make a hughe explosion. Of course it´s possible a lightning strikes the same place two or more times, because from the first time the energy makes the air in that path a superconductor, so it practically open the path for the next lighning
Actually, lightning really does that. The same path is used for multiple strokes within the same 'strike'. If the first flash doesn't transfer all of the charge, a second and third (or more) will.
I think I heard somewhere that when lightning strikes it goes down to the earth and then back up again; maybe this is what happened here except it got delayed a little for some reason. Were there any charred cats around?
wow i cant believe it. i remember the first time i went to this new beach lightening fell right infront of me. since that i am so scared of thunderstorms.
we think it strikes twice but for more elaberation, Lighting happens faster then your eye blinks, Lighting goes to the ground and then goes back up to the sky/cloud. We see only the return trip back up, Cameras, catch everything.
Eh, wrong there buddy. Cameras run at approx. 30 frames per second by default. The untrained Human Eye can see a one frame flicker at about 150 frames per second. Some people can even see a one frame flicker at 300 frames per second.
Blinking has nothing to do with it unless you have a habit of blinking every single time a bolt of lightning occured, even though you would have already seen it since the average human reflexes arent nearly as fast as that.
Lightning works in strokes and can often have 3 or 4 strokes causing a strobe light effect. This is merely a larger than average delay between the strokes, but it's still one case and not two seperate cases of lightning.
yh well lightning cannot stike in the same place once it only happened once in some part in asia that was the logest record 17 lightning strikes killed 4 people
hahaha "lightning cannot stike in the same place once it only happened once in some part in asia that was the logest record 17 lightning strikes killed 4 people" what a LLLLOOOOAAAADDDD
great stuff! i liked it...love lightning and stuff..enjoyed this movie! Thank you for taking the time to share it with all of us by putting it un youtube!
guys....its not about the music....if u want good music watch MTV!
actually lightning cant hit twice in the same spot beacause it matters if the lightning was caused by heat or an conductor.you would have to be closer up to see which one it was to see if it was heat or conductor.if it was an conductor it can because the electricity attracts to the conductor, if it was heat it cant because heat lightning is caused by so much heat it makes a powerful force and creates lightning.sometimes if the humidity is high it might strike twice but not in the same spot
it can strike twice.. 2 nights ago there was thunder and lightning where i live and it struck twice, unless there were 2 thunder storms at once.. if thats possible
The whole lightning not striking twice legend doesn't apply to this. The myth leans more on the fact that lightning won't strike the same place twice when there is a time difference. This is just Pow-Pow. Those kinds of strikes happen all the time. The myth is more like striking twice during different storms. Not to mention, the myth is also about striking the ground, you dont know if this was two strikes on a metal pole or other object.
lightning doesn't strike, it strokes, normally hitting a single spot many times, its just usually so fast you can't tell, so it doesn't suprise me. It will hit until the area it discarged/charged
This was a single strike. If you read a book you'll realize that a single strike has multiple stages or strokes, as the bolt attempts to balance the charge between the ground and the cloud. And by th way, lightning strikes the CN Tower between 75-100 times per year. Don't be stupid; go to the library or something.
it has been explained to me that as a lightning strike hits the ground it leaves a kind of electric wake behind and if there's another strike suddenly after (which happens rarerly) it follows that wake because of some sort of electric attraction.
the first strike was the initial discharge and the second was the streamer which follows the main strike. there may be anywhere up to 10 streamers for 1 discharge. hope that answers anyones questions about it. :D

I've been filming lightning as a hobby now and this looks like it struck once it usually flashes twice every time it hits
ZombiePowerDrink 3 years ago
not to disprove your theory, I believe it can too. But how do you know it hit the same object? All you can tell is that it hit in the same area.

thats nothing. Lightning in Florida strikes 12 at a time.

Yeah... Sure... He putted the flash so we can see the lightning, because it's too dark to see it...

Lightning works in strokes and can often have 3 or 4 strokes causing a strobe light effect. This is merely a larger than average delay between the strokes, but it's still one case and not two seperate cases of lightning.

!t was the same. Look at the difference one sky is light and one is dark so it had to strike at the same place twice.

kingsoliman85 3 years ago
actually lightning cant hit twice in the same spot beacause it matters if the lightning was caused by heat or an conductor.you would have to be closer up to see which one it was to see if it was heat or conductor.if it was an conductor it can because the electricity attracts to the conductor, if it was heat it cant because heat lightning is caused by so much heat it makes a powerful force and creates lightning.sometimes if the humidity is high it might strike twice but not in the same spot

The whole lightning not striking twice legend doesn't apply to this. The myth leans more on the fact that lightning won't strike the same place twice when there is a time difference. This is just Pow-Pow. Those kinds of strikes happen all the time. The myth is more like striking twice during different storms. Not to mention, the myth is also about striking the ground, you dont know if this was two strikes on a metal pole or other object.

lightning doesn't strike, it strokes, normally hitting a single spot many times, its just usually so fast you can't tell, so it doesn't suprise me. It will hit until the area it discarged/charged

listen to psyclone, the lighting can and does strike the CN tower multiple times per year, or per storm. theres even a vid. showing it, go check.
hckylover56 3 years ago
This was a single strike. If you read a book you'll realize that a single strike has multiple stages or strokes, as the bolt attempts to balance the charge between the ground and the cloud. And by th way, lightning strikes the CN Tower between 75-100 times per year. Don't be stupid; go to the library or something.

Of course lightning can strike again on the same place.. but the chance is like: 1/100000000000.
It is possible (like almost everything is) but it will never happen.

Its hard to say as its recorded from far away, and in the distance it may look closer than it really is
bluenightwings 3 years ago
it has been explained to me that as a lightning strike hits the ground it leaves a kind of electric wake behind and if there's another strike suddenly after (which happens rarerly) it follows that wake because of some sort of electric attraction.

AXEL4520 3 years ago
nice! I think it may have struk the same place twice, but I'm not really sure
tntfriday13 3 years ago
the first strike was the initial discharge and the second was the streamer which follows the main strike. there may be anywhere up to 10 streamers for 1 discharge. hope that answers anyones questions about it. :D
