Why would people think that lightning won't strike at the same spot more than twice?

Question

Seriously they do strike more than twice at the same spot but who made this up anyway?

Answer 1

Its all about probability, for example- how many times in your lifetime have you seen it strike the same place twice? its a proverb, reassuring people that a certain occurrence is rare and doesn't happen often

Answer 2

A very old saying that was proven wrong a long time ago.

Answer 3

Ahh, but it does, take a video of lightning that was taped, then slow it down, you will find that the bolt of lightning strikes repeatedly, as many as 8-9 times in one spot.
