Shocking video! Lightning strikes repeatedly at same place,Twitter reacts to myth proved wrong

“Lightning never strikes the same place twice” is a common phrase you’ve probably heard before, often used to reassure someone that whatever bad thing has happened, it won’t happen again.

In fact, lightning can, and often does, strikes the same place repeatedly- especially if it’s a tall and isolated object. To prove the point, a terrifying video of a bolt striking repeatedly at the same place has surfaced online and needless to say, it has gone viral.

“Watch as lightning strikes again and again in the same spot,” wrote OddIy Terrifying on the micro-blogging platform. The clip begins to show a person recording the scene from a balcony. Then suddenly, a jolt of lightning strikes the ground twice. In a matter of a few seconds, something on the ground catches fire because of the lightning. Two women in the video can even be heard saying, “Something’s on fire.”

So far, the clip has garnered more than 8.4 million views and tons of comments. While some were amazed to see something new from the diaries of natural calamities, others poked fun on the horrifying situation. One person wrote, “that was personal” and another commented, “If I saw that, I would leave the balcony and come inside.”

A third person jokingly asked, “What did that tree do?” and a fourth comment read, “If you see this while on a rooftop bar it might be a good idea to head inside.”
