    Plot Twist: The Sears Tower was making the lightning, not the storm.

    It can, and it often does. Keep in mind that lightning will generally strike the tallest structure in a given area.

    My Name Is AJAY somtimes it is true but since its striking twice the explainstion for this means that it a very tall building or it has lots of metal or stuff that attracts lighting in prety sure the power went off once or twice lol

    Man!! I was out on a ridge 5 hrs. North West during this storm pass trying to get some good shots of Lightning with a new Panasonic W850 in slow mo and night vision. Got some cloud to cloud and was hoping. But this is takes the cake and was awesome.

    Awesome Shots. The North side was spared the devastation that much of the area experienced. We had water in our basement but we handled it, no damage actually. Out side the same, garden will bounce back, no trees down.

    If you look closely, while you see the lighting in the air you also see a spark of lighting spark up the sears tower, this is actually how lighting strikes occur, so technically @SummerRain's statement about the sears tower making the lighting is kinda true but it's not.

    Lightning strikes anywhere. The Vatican is no exception. I'm Catholic, but to me, the Vatican is no more sacred than a railroad yard. If God created the Earth, then every piece of it is sacred. Too bad humanity doesn't treat it like it is.
