Guangzhou City in China’s Guangdong Province witnessed a remarkable event on April 20 as lightning struck the metropolis’ famous Canton Tower six times. State media said the tower’s innovative lightning protection system actively redirects lightning underground, ensuring the safety of people and structures.
Over 100,000 people have been evacuated due to heavy rain and fatal floods in southern China, with the government issuing its highest-level rainstorm warning for the affected area on Tuesday. Torrential rains have lashed Guangdong in recent days, swelling rivers and raising fears of severe flooding that state media said could be of the sort only “seen around once a century”.
