11 Lightning can strike the same place twice—and it often does, especially objects that are tall, pointy, and isolated.

11闪电可以两次击中同一个地方,而且经常如此,特别是那些孤立的高尖物体。
The Empire State Building, for example, is hit almost 100 times a year, according to the CDC.
例如,据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据,帝国大厦每年受到近100次袭击。
12 Covering your windows with tape will not protect them from wind or flying objects.
12用胶带盖住窗户并不能保护窗户不受风和飞行物体的破坏。
Experts promoted this idea long ago, before they realized that taping does nothing to strengthen windows and may even increase the potential for harm.
很久以前专家们就提出了这个想法,当时他们还没有意识到胶带对加固窗户非但没有任何作用,反而会增加潜在危害。
