Q: Why doesn't lightning strike the same place twice?

A: Because the same place isn't there anymore.


If this were true, there would be no skyscrapers or broadcast towers.

The path that lightning takes is from the bottom up.Or so I once
read.Lightning puts millions of tons of nitrogen into the air.A lot of
the bulk of trees is nitrogen.We are breathing in some nitrogen every
time we take a breath of air.And oxygen and neon and dust and other
thingys too.

Cuhulin,

The "Air" that we breath generally breaks down to :
78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and the remaining 1%
is make up of : Argon, Helium, Carbon Dioxide,
and other Gases; plus Water Vapor based on the
Relative Humidity.

On the Average the Earths Atmosphere {Air} is 12 Miles Thick.
* We only use about 1/5 {20%} of the Oxygen
in the Air that we Breeth-in per Breath
http://www.mfe.govt.nz/issues/air/breathe/
* We take about 26,000 Breaths per Day

Did any of you notice how lightning caused microphone to mute when
Rudolph Giuliani was speaking in one of those debates? I watched it
on CNN. Must have been one of those wireless mics.

Do you have any idea how many politicians were choked to death by
microphone cords, before the wireless microphone was developed?

"Choked" to his Death by a Wild Microphone Cord . . .

Wireless microphones have been around for a long time. You have to
go back to the early day s of radio and electronics to find corded
microphones. The ones you see on debates are dummy microphones, with
the cords cut off for safety reasons. ;-)

Uh, that was supposed to be a joke...a little humor. (I know , very
little) grin. I'm pretty sure most people realize that the Empire
State Building has been hit by lightning and yet is still there.

But, as they say, if ya gotta explain it...

In the meanwhile, try to lighten up a bit--it's better for your health.
