Video: Saudi city hit by non-stop lightning wave

A Saudi city was struck by a wave of non-stop lightning that was accompanied by massive dust storm, according to a local newspaper.

A YouTube film published by Sabq showed lightning continuously lit the Western Red Sea town of Yanbu at night but no thunder was heard.

“This is a very strange phenomenon as lightning was frightening and continuous and there was no thunder. But no damage was reported in the city,” said Sharaf Al Sifyani, head of the Saudi Horizons Society for Space Sciences.
