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 time elapse reveals the building on the far right was totally late to the party.

PRACTICE, PEOPLE, PRACTICE!
