The clouds at the tower end charge the building and Trees by process of induction such that they aquire opposite with respect to cloud due to this heavy flow of charge acquired between building and clouds. This heavy flow can damage several building.

The flow of charges from clouds and lightning. Lightning is harmful as well as has certain advantage and disadvantage.
