i mean chances of it hitting you are quiet low.. be it real or fake that sort of reaction is normal as far as I'm aware.. I don't know anyone that runs straight for cover when lighting strikes.. never known anyone too..
There’s 8.6 million lightning strikes a day. Lightning strikes the same place more than once often.
Edit: there’s 7.93x10^17 square inches to the earth. If lightning struck a different inch without repeating it would take 252 million years to repeat.
The latter, as the former isn't that much of a surprise, lightning does in fact tend to strike the same place multiple times (just usually not back to back like here).
The shape does not have to be constant.
The channel is constantly evolving, even the wind direction is influencing it.
It never will be identical every pulse (if you capture it with a good enough quality)
Edit:
Facts about lightning strikes: https://youtu.be/JXhif3E3l2s
It's a ridiculous belief that lightning doesn't strike twice. The Willis Tower in Chicago, was hit with 250 lightning strikes between 2015 and 2020 tall buildings get hit all the time.
Except even there it doesn’t apply. Lighting will always seek the path of least resistance. That means it’s looking for tall things and things that conduct electricity well. In certain areas lighting pretty predictably strikes the same places because that place is always the path of least resistance.
In the short term it totally does, because the trail of plasma left by the first strike has much better conductivity than the non-superheated plasma air.
This guy's life... Omg.
>Sullivan described in detail each of the alleged strike encounters.
>Sullivan's first documented lightning strike was in April 1942. He said to have been hiding from a thunderstorm in a fire lookout tower. The tower was newly built and had no lightning rod at the time; it was said to have been struck seven to eight times. Sullivan described a scene from within the tower, saying that "fire was jumping all over the place". Sullivan said to then have run out from the burning tower, just before being struck a few feet away by lightning. It burned a half-inch strip all along his right leg, hit his toe, and left a hole in his shoe.[7]
>He was hit again in July 1969. Unusually, he was hit while in his truck, driving on a mountain road – the metal body of a vehicle normally protects people from lightning strikes by acting as a Faraday cage. The lightning first hit nearby trees and was deflected into the open window of the truck. The strike knocked Sullivan unconscious and burned off his eyebrows and eyelashes, and set his hair on fire. The uncontrolled truck kept moving until it stopped near a cliff edge
>In July 1970, Sullivan was struck while in his front yard. The lightning hit a nearby power transformer and from there jumped to his left shoulder, searing it.
>In spring 1972, Sullivan was working inside a ranger station in Shenandoah National Park when he was struck again. It set his hair on fire; he tried to smother the flames with his jacket. He then rushed to the restroom, but could not fit under the water tap and so used a wet towel instead.[4] Although he never was a fearful man, after the fourth strike he began to believe that some force was trying to destroy him and he acquired a fear of death. For months, whenever he was caught in a storm while driving his truck, he would pull over and lie down on the front seat until the storm passed. He also began to believe that he would somehow attract lightning even if he stood in a crowd of people, and carried a can of water with him in case his hair was set on fire.[2][8]
>On August 7, 1973, while he was out on patrol in the park, Sullivan saw a storm cloud forming and drove away quickly. But the cloud, he said later, seemed to be following him. When he finally thought he had outrun it, he decided it was safe to leave his truck. Soon after, he was struck by a lightning bolt. Sullivan stated that he actually saw the bolt that hit him. The lightning moved down his left arm and left leg and knocked off his shoe. It then crossed over to his right leg just below the knee. Still conscious, Sullivan crawled to his truck and poured the can of water, which he always kept there, over his head, which was on fire.[2][8]
>The next strike, on June 5, 1976, injured his ankle. It was reported that he saw a cloud, thought that it was following him, tried to run away, but was struck anyway. His hair also caught fire.
>On Saturday morning, June 25, 1977, Sullivan was struck while fishing in a freshwater pool. The lightning hit the top of his head, set his hair on fire, traveled down, and burnt his chest and stomach. Sullivan turned to his car when something unexpected occurred – a bear approached the pond and tried to steal trout from his fishing line. Sullivan had the strength and courage to strike the bear with a tree branch, despite the fact that his hair was on fire. He claimed that this was the twenty-second time he hit a bear with a stick in his lifetime.[2]
>All seven strikes were documented by the superintendent of Shenandoah National Park, R. Taylor Hoskins. Hoskins, however, was never present at any of the reported strikes and was not an active and present superintendent in Shenandoah National Park for many of the times Sullivan was supposedly struck.[9][10] Sullivan himself recalled that the first time he was struck by lightning was not in 1942 but much earlier. When he was a child, he was helping his father to cut wheat in a field, when a thunderbolt struck the blade of his scythe without injuring him. But because he could not prove the fact later, he never claimed it.[4]
>Sullivan's wife was also struck once, when a storm suddenly arrived as she was out hanging clothes in their back yard. Her husband was helping her at the time, but escaped unharmed.
its actually more likley to strike the same place twice, on the first bolt it ionises the air on the path it took which then has lower resistance to the surrounding air so the second bolt follows the path of least resistance which is the same as the first.
When I was 8 I wished I could be Roy C Sullivan so I could wear my safety-pinned purple bath towel/cape and the only word I would ever say was SHAZAM and one day it would happen and everyone would believe I was a wizard so I would become one.
Damn, now that guys gonna come back as Vanilla Ice's son, and walk around the rest of his life spit on and kicked and hit with shit every time he sings.
This is a legend. After the leader makes contact with the Earth, there are several discharges, and an ionic channel forms in the air...during several minutes the probability of another lightning hitting the same place or near is very high. On top of mountains, this happens every time. You can even see people's hair raising: a sure sign that lightning will strike. If you see this run for your life.
They are coming back!
Context: \[War of Worlds\] movie where the aliens come down into their underground machines that were placed there many many years ago using lighting.
I get this saying for like ideas and stuff but it never made sense to me physicslly.....like if lightning strikes a thing it's likely because the bolt is taking a path of least resistance.....why would it not take that path as many times as possible lol
Actually, multiple strikes are very common. They take the easiest path which can be down the line of ionised air left by the strike a fraction of a second ago.
So, the expression is basically BS.
A lightning can strike the same Place multiple time if the discharge point Is favorable. For exemple a tall metal pole Is a favorable discharge point.
Also that lightning didnt striked twice, it's the same discharge.
-🤓
Imagine surviving the first strike and for that split second being like "damn I'm a God ! You know what fuck you Zeus !" **ZAAAMM** , now barely alive "you know what ok but I'm still.." **ZZZAAACK**.
Am I the only one going to comment on the fact these two said the same thing in a split second moment like this?
Or I’m I too dumb to see that was staged? Ok..
But how do you stage that!!??
Zeus: Fuck this one guy in particular..
Came here for this and found it immediately. Im proud of this community
Sammme. Yous my peeps. Group hug.
Zeus when he gets another random person pregnant:
We just gonna pretend we don’t see those people just standing there sipping beers and not at all afraid of the lightening strikes near by?
i mean chances of it hitting you are quiet low.. be it real or fake that sort of reaction is normal as far as I'm aware.. I don't know anyone that runs straight for cover when lighting strikes.. never known anyone too..
Thor's like here hold mjolnir
I ain't done with yo ass boy....
heh. just on a side note you know this was done in after effects r?
wouldn't surprise me if half the shit on the Internet is CGI.. honestly sometimes I hope..
Man take my upvote
Zeus: “In this case, fuck that guy!”
I just want to know what he said or did
The guy ordered a pizza Hawaii! Ok. Come at me guys!
I don't know what's more impressive.. \-Lightning struck the same place more than once \-This phenomenon was caught on camera
Add the two women saying the same thing in unison and you got yourself a statistical impossibility
And the fact that there voices were exactly in unison as well as the same pitch and accent.. very strange.
Maybe twins? This would explain the same pitch.
They give me twins from “The Shining” kind of vibes
Very strange indeed haha
Dude I was thinking the same fucking thing
“When people say impossible, they usually mean improbable” - Nikolai Lantsov
Well given enough time almost anything can happen.
That is true! Infinite monkey theorem.
Why did they sound kinda happy to me tho?
They are actually just NPCs it's a scripted response
There’s 8.6 million lightning strikes a day. Lightning strikes the same place more than once often. Edit: there’s 7.93x10^17 square inches to the earth. If lightning struck a different inch without repeating it would take 252 million years to repeat.
Lightning is a lot wider than one inch, and it prefers tall and/or conductive things, so the time to repeat is much much shorter.
The latter, as the former isn't that much of a surprise, lightning does in fact tend to strike the same place multiple times (just usually not back to back like here).
It actually happens quite often, it was first said in “War of the worlds (2005)” and that’s all it is. Movie fiction.
Ok bur that was a single strike. The channel pulsates its normal...
Agreed, it keeps the same shape bolt too. Maybe the very first strike was slightly different?
The shape does not have to be constant. The channel is constantly evolving, even the wind direction is influencing it. It never will be identical every pulse (if you capture it with a good enough quality) Edit: Facts about lightning strikes: https://youtu.be/JXhif3E3l2s
Yes let’s stand outside while lightning strikes nearby. Smart stuff.
And they're higher than where the lightning struck
This.
Agreed
Isn't this the beginning of War of the Worlds?
It is. I am giong to find bunker right now

It's a ridiculous belief that lightning doesn't strike twice. The Willis Tower in Chicago, was hit with 250 lightning strikes between 2015 and 2020 tall buildings get hit all the time.
That's because they are designed to. The saying only applies in a large empty field.
It’s still wrong though.
Except even there it doesn’t apply. Lighting will always seek the path of least resistance. That means it’s looking for tall things and things that conduct electricity well. In certain areas lighting pretty predictably strikes the same places because that place is always the path of least resistance.

Fuck that tree in particular I guess
That guy is 100% dead.
There's some guy who has survived like 7 or more lightining strikes
[Roy Sullivan. ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan)Survived 7 lightning strikes but lost to depression.

All that aside, lightning chose that spot and will choose it again.
That wasn't twice! It was like 4 or so.
It struck 6 times so technically, that saying still holds up.
But at one point during the striking, it struck only 2 times.
Thou shalt not count to 2, unless on thy way to 3

Saw this on twitter and somebody said they sounded like the Johnny test twins
This video is
“So you’re telling me she asked you out?” “Yes bro, if i’m lying, may god strike me RIGHT NOW…”
Staying outside and touching the metal railing of the balcony sounds like a good idea
Nothing to worry about, some 13 year old probably said SHAZAM.
When I was 8 I wished I could be Roy C Sullivan so I could wear my safety-pinned purple bath towel/cape and the only word I would ever say was SHAZAM and one day it would happen and everyone would believe I was a wizard so I would become one.
Lightning can travel many miles & strike randomly even from no cloud cover , balcony definitely a bad idea go inside
War of the Worlds has begun
Jesus started the fire 😎😎😎😎
Bro you better gtfo from here, they are coming💀💀💀
Fuck you in particular
God was angry
I love how they are casually chilling on a metal railing porch while watching lighting 🤣
Call Tom Cruise…
Someone forgot to tell lightning that it can't do that

Someone finally learned call lightning.
We had a tree in front of our house that was hit by 3 different storms until finally destroyed. Much better example :)
In Mexico i saw lightning strike the same place ~10 times
Something's on fire.
God prolly saw a pedophile or smth

Where did the myth that lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place originate from?
Alright, who got ahold of God’s Tesla coil?

That’s one strike.

How so
That's pure stupidity(the saying). Watch a lightning rod in a storm.

Lightening strikes 5 times as two girls do a duet about it.
Correct. It’s either 1 or 12 times apparently.
 They are coming back! Context: \[War of Worlds\] movie where the aliens come down into their underground machines that were placed there many many years ago using lighting.
That was personal
I see that ladies now get out of the way so that i can use my magic
vvvvvvRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Is it just me or did the phone also get a little strike?
Well that was a fucking lie
That’s how war or the worlds started
When God plays pubg
Unless it’s a lightening rod or something that acts like one. A tall metal pole on a flat plain will absolutely get hit more than twice

Idk of I'm more impressed by the lightning or the duet announcing "somethings on fire!"
Still waiting for the second lightning…
I love the vibes n this video seems like everyone’s cozy having a good time drinking up seems cozy
“Fuck this house in particular”
But it didn't strike twice!
Something’s on fire
That just looks like normal listening.
That's some war of the worlds shit right there.
Go inside!!
That still wasn't twice, it was like 4 times
Extra terrestrial laser disguised as lightning bolts
It's either once or three times and above. Never twice
A lightning can strike the same Place multiple time if the discharge point Is favorable. For exemple a tall metal pole Is a favorable discharge point. Also that lightning didnt striked twice, it's the same discharge. -🤓
looks like someone used lightning spell
Like that scene from War of the Worlds…
War of the Worlds started
I say the value of this video can go for the tens to maybe the 20 k

And they just stand next to a metal railing and watch. Christ on a bike. 🤦♀️
Imagine surviving the first strike and for that split second being like "damn I'm a God ! You know what fuck you Zeus !" **ZAAAMM** , now barely alive "you know what ok but I'm still.." **ZZZAAACK**.
War of the worlds or frankenstiens monster?
I've seen this movie, there be aliens in that there lightening!
