At exactly 04:08 pm this evening. In abuja, central area precisely, the weather turned seriously cloudy, as if there was serious war in the cloud.
2 minutes layer, the whole environment became shaky as a result of serious wind blowing from all corners.
Then it started raining slightly, it gradually became very heavy accompanied with severe wind.

The only thing that came to my mind then was that God wants to replicate what he did in the time of Noah.

Suddenly I heard a loud and unruly noise. Everybody was running for cover.

Then I discovered that the tower crane has been blown down by the wind.

An estimated total of 47 panel of Malaysian glasses were damaged. (1.5m each glass panel)
Also some parts of the 25th floor was affected

Fortunately, the crane operator had already come down from the crane 12 minutes prior to the sad incident. More so, no lives were lost. but, an estimated damage of over #200M was incurred.

View pictures below.. It was dark already. So the camera's clarity was affected.
