Lightning strikes Seattle's Space Needle twice in one day

March 1 (UPI) -- Seattle's thundersnow storm this week brought with it another unusual weather occurrence -- lightning striking the Space Needle twice in a single day.

The official Twitter account for the Space Needle posted a video of a "rare lightning strike" during Monday's thundersnow storm.

The event become a bit less rare later in the day when the account tweeted a second video of a second lightning strike shortly after the first.

The lightning did not appear to cause any damage, as the Spaced Needle is outfitted with 24 lightning rods to safely channel the electricity into the ground.
