The old adage about lightning never striking the same place twice is based on the notion of like charges repelling. Once lightning has struck a place in theory it is negatively charged and repels all other lightning strikes. But electricity actually travels quite readily through the ground so it doesn't or may not last.

Answer:

Yes Lighting can strike the same place twice

Step-by-step explanation:

After all, a thunderstorm travels across an area. So after lightning strikes one place, it’s probably safe from another strike. In reality, lightning can and will strike the same place twice, whether it be during the same storm or even centuries later.
