ANSWER 1

Well i was watching lately a documentary on Discovery channel, they were talking about strange facts, describing on a reconstruction how some people defeated death amazingly. By coincidence there have been a man living in the US, he was strucked by lightning for four times, each time on different circumstances and now he's still alive luckily but unfortunately he suffers now from some pains increasing exponentially by the number of times a lightening stuck him. He mentioned that it may be related to heredity because his grandfather aunt and a cousin (as i remember) were strucked also by this huge enormous phenomenous of goddess nature.

How often does the Sears Tower get struck by lightning?

It gets hit pretty often during thunderstorms. Depends on the severity of the storm. Hundreds of times a year I would guess. Lightning strikes a protection system that was installed on the antennas which harmlessly routes the lightning through the steel that the building is constructed of and out to a grounding system which disperses the energy into the earth.


Does lightning ever strike the same place twice?

Yes it can. Tall buidings have lightning conductors which are hit several times every year. It is estimated that there are 8,000,000 lightning strikes every day. Not only does it hit the same place more than once, several people have been hit more than once.Sometimes in Florida where they have a lot of lightning and they have tree nurseries They have trees called lightning trees. These trees don't get sold they are there because they have been struck by lightning before which means they are one of the tallest trees in the grove they are there so they can attract lightning so the lightning doesn't strike other trees. So if your out in an open field every time when it is raining and lightning is going on too, you may get struck more than once.It can and often has.

No. There are several things wrong with you logic. People are hit by lighting all the time and all they get is hurt and burns ending up in hospitals. Mermen are not real and people can not change into them either by lightning, spells, water or the moon. If you want to pretend go get a costume.
