Final verdict

Myth that lightning never strikes the same place twice

Scientific evidence shows lightning frequently strikes the same location multiple times, especially tall and isolated structures.

High likelihood of being false · Confidence high

번개는 같은 장소에 두 번 떨어지지 않는다는 주장은 과학적으로 사실이 아니며, 높은 건물이나 고립된 지형 등 전도성과 지형적 조건에 따라 동일한 위치에 반복해서 낙뢰가 발생할 수 있음이 관측을 통해 확인되었습니다.
