A Chicago-based videographer captured several vivid bolts around 10 p.m. Tuesday during a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, including one strike hitting the Willis Tower.
The Windy City has been inside Severe Thunderstorms Warnings both Tuesday and Wednesday, with lightning bolts dancing across the skyline Tuesday night. Photographer Craig Shimala captured several vivid bolts around 10 p.m. Tuesday during one such Severe Thunderstorm Warning, including one strike hitting the Willis Tower.
"Even though my camera had a tight view of the Willis Tower you can still take in how large this giant bolt of lightning was," Shimala said. "If the frame was wider, you would have seen the lightning reach out and strike multiple parts of the city all within a couple seconds."The cleanup began on Saturday after a tornado ripped the roof off the Apollo Theater in Belvidere, Illinois. One person was killed and dozens of others injured.
The skies were no less ominous after day broke on Wednesday with an eerie shelf cloud spotted atop the Willis Tower approaching the city ahead of yet another line of thunderstorms.
