Scale Model City, Actual-Size Grime
This summer's been something of a bummer, weather-wise, but that doesn't mean that there haven't been plenty of moments that have left us completely in awe—like last night's colossal long-lasting lightning storm, which covered the city for several hours, and which might be duplicated again today. Above are a selection of photos from photographers in Torontoist's Flickr pool, who braved the storms by holding small metal, electric objects pointed up at it, many of them focusing on the lightning conduit that is the CN Tower.

All that heavy rain should wash away all that left over garbage spillage, should it had been kept out in the open. Except for the bird droppings on my car, may need a wire brush on that.
I was down on Marine Parade Drive last night, it's probably the best place in the city to experience a lightning storm.
rek - was that you taking shots with a p&s off a hydro box last night? this was snapped at marine parade drive after the storm blew out of the core:

That photo of the clouds hovering over the Leuty Lifeguard Station is truly frightening.
Ha, I was waiting for this. Torontoist didn't disappoint! Nice shots everyone.
Tee-hee, dated Ryerson article from 2006. "Tallest freestand structure in the world." Feh!

OMINOUS!
Because the shots kept flowing into our Flickr pool (like rain, you could say), we've added a half-dozen new photos to the gallery above—start here and work your way forward.
*groan* I can't believe you went there with the headline.
I laughed.
As did I.
