"Lightning never strikes twice in the same place."

There are only two men in the entire world who are recognized by the United States as experts on the subject of lightening. One of these gentlemen, appeared tonight on Foxnews and declared THAT statement is a MYTH. Lightning can and often will strike in the same place twice.

Well, "lightning never strikes twice in the same place" is not meant literally. It just means that such extraordinary events are unlikely to occur in the same domain twice. That's all I meant. It may be rather difficult to tell if lightning struck twice in the "exact" spot unless there were a shelter hit both times.
