Lightning Never Strikes the Same Place Twice
"The reassurance that once lightning has struck somewhere, that spot is now safe from being hit again."
The opposite is closer to the truth. Lightning takes the path of least resistance to the ground, which means tall, isolated structures get struck again and again, not just once. The Empire State Building is the textbook example: it's hit by lightning roughly 25 times a year on average, and was once struck eight times in a single 24-minute storm. There's no mechanism by which a location becomes "used up" after a single strike.
Myth vs. FactHeight and isolation, not history, determine where lightning strikes. The same spot getting hit repeatedly is completely normal.
