Yes, The Auckland Sky Tower gets struck by lightning :D
cloud to cloud lightning
What causes lighting??????? What causes lighting???????
Lighting danced across the sky means the lightning did not go in a straight pattern, lightning usually goes in a straight pattern.
Lightning does not strike backwards, from the ground to the sky. It only moves in one direction, from the sky to the ground.By striking backwards, do you mean can the Earth give off a lightning bolt to the clouds? No.

It is not rare that the Eiffel Tower is struck by lightning. It has very large lightning rods that are grounded and dissipate the charge without major damage.
hold a lightning rod up to the sky while lightning is striking
Unless you count the lightning rod poles on top of the building, then no the tower itself has never been struck by lightning.
Due to the Eiffel Tower's height and the fact that it is made of metal, it is commonly struck by lightning during thunderstorms. However, the Eiffel Tower possesses a very large lightning rod, and so lightning strikes pose little risk to the tower's structure or to human life.
A streak of lightning split the dark sky into half.
Hundreds of times a year for 33 years.
There are actually 25 lightning rods- including the tower itself- on top of the Space Needle; though lightning storms are relatively uncommon in the Seattle area, so it is not struck very often. It was recently struck by lightning three times (May 19, 2009), and was struck three years before, in 2006.

a cloudless sky with lightning
Well, it will probably fall down and kill hundreds of people.
It has lightning arrestors, which provide a low resistance path to ground (electric current always takes the path of least resistance).
The Sky Tower is in Auckland, New Zealand
