Impressive video of lightning striking 3 of Chicago's tallest bldgs. at the same time

My friend posted this on Facebook and I thought it was pretty cool. This was taken at last Wednesday's storm.

As I was driving through this storm, I went through 6 towns/villages and it was the 1st time I ever heard the tornado sirens blaring in every town I drove through.

For the third time in the last 6 days, another line of nasty storms rolled through Chicago on Wednesday evening. I love coming home and being able to watch and capture nature's beauty from my balcony.

"Wed's storms towered up to 63,000 ft, unleashed 80 mph gusts, local 3"+ rains and 15,000 cloud to ground lightning strikes in a single hour." via WGN news

And people thought I was kidding -
"if you don't like the weather in Chicago, wait on hour!"

Awesome pics - first time I've seen them! Thanks!
