A spectacular thunderstorm has left its mark — quite literally — on the 17th hole at the Edmonton Petroleum Golf and Country Club.
The storm was affected people from all over Alberta, waking up many in the middle of the night.

The storm was also powerful enough to cause a power outage at the golf course that lasted until 9:30 am the next morning.
