MEME Something seems to be going on …

Just a funny meme, at the start of the year lightning hit all 3 monuments throughout the US: Capitol Hill (Freedom), Washington Monument (Lincolnlookers), and the Empire State Building (Serpent).

They're... They're really fucking tall. Lightning will strike the tallest object nearby. Easiest path to the ground.

The chances are that the Capitol, the Washington Monument, and the Empire State Building all get struck by lightning are... Not that low. I mean, lightning will always take the shortest path to the ground, thus striking the tallest object nearby. So... Yeah, of course they're all gonna get hit by lightning. They get hit by lightning a lot. 

I know this is a joke post but the Twitter OPs post is making me cringe. I think they failed basic science.
