Lightning strikes three of the tallest buildings in Chicago at the same time! from Craig Shimala on Vimeo.

A nasty storm rolled through Chicago recently, and Craig Shimala was ready to capture it from his balcony. Using a Canon 7D and a 10-22mm wide angle lens, he was lucky enough to film lightning striking the three tallest buildings in Chicago at the same time. Playing the footage in slow motion also gives an interesting look at how lightning travels.

The Michael Horn Show 1 | Positive World Radio

The Michael Horn Show 1 | Positive World Radio:

"It’s the debut of the highly anticipated Michael Horn show. Michael introduces the Billy Meier UFO case in Switzerland, and focuses on looking at some of our most pressing concerns in light of the core principles contained within the Meier teaching. Michael discusses the environmental devastation, illegal immigration and overpopulation in light of how they reflect on our understanding of self-responsibility, cause and effect and conscious monitoring of our thoughts, feelings and actions. He explains that these three critically important cornerstones for conscious, creative, constructive living are essential for creating peace, love, freedom and harmony."
