Question

Has anyone ever been struck by lightning twice at once (two different lighting bolts)?

Answer 1

The only person that comes to mind that would possibly have experienced that is Roy Sullivan. He was struck by lightning 7 times and lived through all of it. Other than him, I don't think so. I haven't read anywhere about it, and i read weather books quite often.

Answer 2

Im pretty sure that person would be dead if that ever happend. Two points, woo hoo!

Answer 3

I don't think so.   That is, I don't believe such a thing  is within the nature of lightning bolts.  Because if conditions were right for a lightning bolt to form in that location, then I don't see why more than one would form.    You never hear of two lightning bolts forming within an area so small that they could both strike one person.

Now I could be wrong because, at the link below, there is a photo of three lightning bolts striking the top of the Eiffel Tower at what looks like the same time.   But we don't really know  they were at the same time, as I think it would be highly likely that the photo was taken with a slow shutter speed or open shutter ...  so that those 3 bolts might actually have occurred over a period of several seconds or even minutes.
