Taken on Aug 21, 2003 - with an old digital camera. You can check out the radar tracking of it here: http://www.ontariostorms.com/2003/aug21/index.html

I took this video as the storm moved through downtown Toronto. The CN Tower was struck numerous times, as we're other buildings downtown. It was an incredible sight :)

The CN Tower is completely grounded and gets hit by lightning an average of 75 times a year. You can read uP on this and more at their website: http://www.cntower.ca/

  • this is what i miss from living in toronto the lightning moved to bc a few years ago

  • when ever there is lightning it always hits the C.N TOWER

  • if you look closely , lebron traveled

  • That is scary

  • This scared me lol. I'm scared of thunder storms. But this is awesome, and lightning will usually go to tall buildings with antennas because they all reach the ground. I would not like to be on the new Cn tower attraction. If there was this.

  • The World of Darkness Universe is real...

  • Hey!

    We have released the third teaser for the film. What do you think of the Toronto Maple Leafs' current ticket prices?

  • @sakykBzz Not often, we just had a huge one much much more severe then this, the CN tower got struck about 200 times. 2007 and 2011 are the biggest storms we have had, other then that it is extremely rare to have weather like this in Toronto
