From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: We continue to look at some of the myths associated with lightning. The death toll from lightning in the United States has reached 25 and is rapidly approaching the 10-year average of 31. And there are so many myths about lightning. Striking twice in one spot as well as how close will the next strike be to the last one.
