Lightning never hits the same place twice? I remember a certain hospital in Norman, Oklahoma, that was hit at least ten times in thirty years. Actually, the hospital was hit a lot more than that. The chimney on the hospital was hit 20 times. But maybe you are right. The lightning destroyed the chimney, so a new one was built from scratch. It wasn't the same chimney. So it wasn't the same place.

Seems to me that I read the top of the Empire State Building gets hit hundreds of times a year.the elephant wrote:Lightning never strikes the same place twice. Stop moving around so much. Problem solved.
First time I went west I got off my plane, caught a cab, and went to work. Felt just like Philly. When I got to work, they asked me how I liked the earthquake. I couldn't figure out what they were talking about. Then I realized that I was used to getting off an airport on the second floor, with rent-a-car and hotel buses rumbling past. They explained that in LA it was the ground floor...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
