Last night Toronto got quite the show as lightning storms took over the skies.
Yesterday Environment Canada called for severe thunderstorms and large hail over the city.

The lightning portion of the storms latest about 30 minutes, with flashes occurring almost continuously.

Some regions saw power outages while rain continued into this morning.
I do not think I'll ever see this again. Constant lightning over Toronto skies. Bear in mind that this video has been captured in real-time. 51 seconds of lightning show. #onstorm #Lightning pic.twitter.com/AzmaAO7Ob3
