The moment some of Chicago’s tallest buildings were simultaneously struck by lightning was caught on camera on Sunday.
A Chicago resident caught the moment lightning struck multiple skyscrapers during a storm on Sunday night.
Realtime video shared by Craig Shimala shows lightning illuminating the city skyline, followed by timelapse video of strikes hitting buildings, including a sequence where three skyscrapers are simultaneously hit.
Sunday’s storm prompted a tornado warning in northern Illinois and in the Chicago area.

While Canada is well known for its accomplishments in space — including building the robotic arms used on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station — the country still has no ability to launch its own satellites. This week, Ottawa committed nearly a quarter‑billion dollars towards changing that.

But an online urban legend claims the opposite of Canada’s soldiers, painting a picture of troops so brazen in their brutality that international laws were rewritten to rein them in.
