Sunday night was quite a show for Albertans, as a massive thunderstorm rolled through the area. The
Alberta thunderstorm was so bad it was even reported that lightning was striking every few seconds. It even struck a house in Calgary, the residents of which managed to escape uninjured.
The intense storm moved through Calgary and nearby regions, lighting up the sky throughout the night. A severe thunderstorm warning was put in place for the area by Environment Canada throughout the night but was lifted around midnight as the storm started to pass through.
With the storm lasting most of the evening, residents were able to get some amazing footage of the lightning that was striking down.
It was even reported by the Calgary Herald that during the peak of the storm, lightning was striking every few seconds, making the storm the ultimate light show. Videos show the night skies lighting up with multiple lightning strikes every few seconds. While there seems to be an abundance of strikes, it is still unclear exactly how many strikes hit the ground across Alberta throughout the night.
One Twitter user even stated, "Nothing beats a late-season nocturnal light show in Alberta."
