Calgary saw quite the lightning show last night (VIDEOS)
Oh, when the weather outside is frightful…
Calgary was privy to quite the light show last night, and we’re not talking about the nightly Stampede fireworks.

The skies above YYC came alive with multiple lightning strikes on Tuesday night, giving Calgarians plenty of opportunities to capture the natural phenomenon on video. It was a stroke of luck for those of us who happened to miss it, as plenty of proof has been posted to social media in the hours since.
Here are a few of our favourite shots of last night’s thunder and lightning:

Boring. This nocturnal lightshow north of Calgary is about as exciting as Stampede week is. Start chucking some CG bolts already. š“š“š“ #ABStorm pic.twitter.com/38KpRKKlfy

Check out these SFERICS!
Every time lightning flashes, it generates an electromagnetic impulse that can be detected on AM radio between frequencies. Frequent lightning NW of Calgary! #abstorm 10PM pic.twitter.com/j17ibPoPIJ
