The 5-second video revealed a stormy night sky in Mecca. A high-rise clock tower stood tall at the heart of the city. Suddenly, a bolt of massive lightning erupted in the sky, striking the peak of the clock tower. Soon, the thin strip of lightning seemed to extend its branches as the entire sky was illuminated. Although it was a wonderful sighting, the view was equally scary.
Social media users were left awe-struck after they watched the video. While some Twitter users commended the power of God and how people are at the mercy of the Almighty, others shared similar videos of the lightning incidents from other places.
