People who have been struck by lightning once are not more likely to be struck again, but they may be in situations where they are at greater risk due to their activities or occupations. Lightning tends to strike tall objects or those in open areas, so people who spend a lot of time outdoors in stormy conditions, such as farmers, construction workers, or outdoor enthusiasts, may be at higher risk for multiple strikes.
Yes, it is possible for a person who has been struck by lightning once to be struck again. If they are in an area susceptible to lightning strikes or they are exposed to similar conditions that increase the risk of being struck, there is a possibility of it happening again.
Surviving a lightning strike once is already extremely rare due to the high voltage and heat involved. Typically, there is no set limit to how many times someone can survive being struck by lightning, but the chances of survival decrease with each subsequent strike due to potential cumulative injuries from multiple strikes. It is important to seek medical attention after any lightning strike to assess and treat potential injuries.
Yes, lightning can strike the same place multiple times. Tall structures such as skyscrapers, radio towers, and trees are often struck by lightning repeatedly due to their height and ability to conduct electricity.
On average, a commercial airplane is struck by lightning about once a year. Modern aircraft are built to withstand lightning strikes, and safety measures are in place to protect passengers and the aircraft during such an event.
Lightning can strike anywhere and it is certain that over geological time ALL places on Earth have been struck more than once. In cases where something on the surface may build up an electrical charge at a point (eg a lightening rod) then the lightning will certainly strike it much more frequently. Also if one films a SINGLE lightning strike at high speed, it is clear that what we see as a single strike is in fact many strikes, one after the other using the same ionised discharge path between the sky and earth. So a single lightning bolt actually strikes the same place more than once.

-600% of that if you get struck once only your grave will be struck again
Nothing really happens to the person in a car when the vehicle gets struck by lightning as long as they remain in the car. Once a person touches a metallic part of the car and the ground at the same time, they run the risk of electrocution.
yes, about once in 2 month ussually. but airplanes absorb the lightnings energy and put all that energy into the wings

Yes, take the Empire State Building, it gets hit by lightning hundreds of times a year.

Each lightning "strike" is typically many (perhaps a hundred) bursts of electrons moving in ever longer paths from the earth to a cloud or between clouds. It is rare for a lightning bolt to strike the same location on different occasions but lightning rods will conduct electricity and many have done so for a great number of lightning strikes.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service, the odds of being struck by lightning -- in your lifetime -- are 1 in 5,000. The odds of being struck in any given year: 1 in 700,000 According to NOAA, it's 1/6250.
Victims struck by lightning do not retain an electrical charge and can be touched safely. The main concern is providing medical assistance promptly as they may have injuries from the strike. Once the person is out of immediate danger, it is safe to touch and help them.
