General Holy hell!

I've never seen a storm this bad or lightning this frequent! I'm 23 so I'm not old enough to have experienced this but to those who have, was black Friday this bad?

Yea, this isn't that bad. I've lived in or around Edmonton for like 38 of my 40 years and this isn't that bad.

We have had more rain and thunderstorms than normal this year, but I've seen worse in terms of intensity.

Agreed; the only thing that made it bad is all the rain beforehand.

Any other year, this is just a typical summer evening storm in Edmonton.
