Abu Dhabi: A stunning video footage captured the few seconds when up to a billion volts of electricity discharged by lightning struck the world's tallest building - in slow-motion.
Shaikh Hamdan bin Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, shared a tweet showing the moment the spire of the 829-metre-tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai was hit by lightning during the early-evening storm, leaving residents mesmerised by nature's enchanting show.
The weather in the UAE over the past couple of days has been unstable. Several roads were closed due to flash floods and motorists were urged to exercise caution, according to Gulf News.
