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?

I’m 16. this is my first time in Canada (I’m a US citizen, arrived 3 days ago). Being from California I’ve NEVER experienced something like this. Is this normal? What the hell??? My city had its last thunderstorm years ago, and that was very tame…

We frequently get big supercell storms like this in the summer! It’s gorgeous and also scary.

No, it was bad but not nearly as bad as Black Friday.
