in rec.woodworking the following:

****One would think so.* But, like the cliche that lightening never
strikes twice in the same place - the reality is that often there
isn't anything left after the first strike.
****Same goes for tornadoes.* I was told that the Air Force Base in
Salina Kansas had a tornado come through and tear the front off the
commissary.* A year later, another tornado tore the front off the
repairs.

One of the first things that happened to actually give forecasters
some kind of warning of tornadoes was at an air base here in Oklahoma.
The same thing happened there, and when they checked their instruments
they found that they got the same readings.* The first time such an
event happened so they could get good readings.

This was back before they had all the neat instrumentation they have
now.

Second thoughts. It wasn't a year it was just a short time, maybe a
week. That was why they noticed the similarity between the readings
before both of the tornadoes.

Science: take notes, and repeat the experiment. Compare the data.

Kind of hard on the test subjects. B-)
