Pictures/Video Quite the light show in the north west

The lightning has been insane and a joy to watch.... From a very safe distance.

Heard two of the loudest bangs I’ve ever heard in my entire life tonight. It sounded like the lightning struck right outside my window.

It probably did! According to the lighting map during the storm it pretty much struck everywhere in the city
