  1. yes, there have been many things (or people) that have been struck by lightning well over 3 times

    EX: the empire state building


  2. High speed videos (examined frame-by frame) show that most lightning strikes are made up of multiple individual strokes. A typical strike is made of 3 to 4 strokes. There may be more.

    Each re-strike is separated by a relatively large amount of time, typically 40 to 50 milliseconds. Re-strikes can cause a noticeable "strobe light" effect.

  3. All though this is really rare, it has happened before. The odds of it hitting in the same spot more than 1 time is 1 2000000000000000000000. There for u see it can, but is very rare.

  4. Places like the Empire State building or Sears Tower get hit ny lightning fairly often actually.  So, yes it's more than possible!

  5. Yeah it's possible.  That doesn't mean it's probable.

  6. yeah I think it can I seen it happen a few times in the mountains
