Thunderstorm blankets Calgary with beautiful clouds (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)

Calgary was given quite the thunderstorm show last night after a watch was issued by Environment Canada.

Photos and videos posted onto social media show larger than life clouds, and rainfall that rolled by with the storm.

As for the forecast for the coming weekend, there is no extended reprieve in sight as more rainfall is expected through next week.

The only lightning shot I got from the storm earlier this evening.. ⚡️ #yyc#yycstorm#abstorm#calgary#lightning#thunderstorm#weather#springstorm#spring#stormseason#sky#clouds#tree#powerlines#lightningstorm#pretty#purplesky#neat#electricalstorm#season
