Lightning strikes clock tower in Mecca as fierce storm hits holy city....🌟

The big clock tower in Makkah is built with special parts to keep it safe. There are 800 rods inside it that help protect the clock and the lights from lightning. There are also 20 rods on the tower that can reach out automatically if there’s lightning.

At the very top of the clock tower, there’s a long rod. This rod acts like a magnet for lightning. When a bolt of lightning comes down, the rod guides the dangerous electricity safely into the ground. It does this using special metals like copper and aluminum. This helps make sure the tower doesn’t get hurt by the powerful burst of energy from the lightning.
