Lightning hits the Beetham Tower

Those of you who live in Manchester will not have been able to miss the horrendous weather conditions yesterday!

Torrential rain, howling wind, thunder and lightning!

Needless to say, the Beetham Tower stood strong throughout the weather conditions! Nevertheless, as the tallest building within Manchester, the Beetham Tower is an obvious target for fork lightning!

Andy Cooper who is a video technician captured the dramatic at 9:20am as he had set up a webcam in his office window at Manchester University.
