The county in Utah that has had the most lightning deaths is San Juan with 6. Rain from a passing thunderstorm wet the ground and sheep, causing the lightning's electrical discharge to move completely through the herd of female sheep and lambs. The sheepherder was knocked temporarily unconscious, but escaped death because he was in a tent. However, burned spots on his canvas tent revealed that he probably missed the fate of the sheep by only a slim margin. The majority of wildfires in Utah are caused by lightning.
Lightning does strike the same place twice.
The Empire State Building in New York City is struck about 23 times a year, on average. When an aircraft in flight is struck by lightning, the aircraft itself usually induces the flash. Typically, there is little or no damage to the flying aircraft. Commercial aircraft are struck by lightning once every 5,000-10,000 flight hours.
