Videos of the Massive Toronto Thunderstorm
The video compilation above shows several separate and sped-up lightning strikes, but gives a fairly accurate depiction of the level of drama that lit up the skies for hours yesterday evening.
Other amateur videos (below) show what look like a really close strikes (close enough that the people holding the cameras nearly jump out of their boots).
Environment Canada just issued another severe thunderstorm watch for the GTA (2:20pm), so today may see more wild weather yet!

Wow. That fourth video is wild. Wish I'd thought to film some of this, but I was cowering under my bed ....
I was flying around the storm at the time, posisbly the best view I've ever had of a thunder & lightning sotrm: http://www.flickr.com/photos/angenose/3809826148/
The second video (the very close one) was shot by me on my front porch - it hit very close, probably around 150 - 200 meters away (estimated).
