lightning strikes the sears tower in chicago

this is from august 23 2007. i was sitting in my living room admiring my view of downtown chicago. we had some of the craziest storms iv'e seen in my entire life and i captured some of the effects for your viewing pleasure. actually lightning always hits the sears tower but this was too cool not to tape. enjoy!

Seeing that whisp of smoke was cool. Lots of steel frame to absorb that load. I imagine those lightning rod tips get replaced from time to time.
