    C'est incroyable, on dirait une entité au-dessus de notre ville (un peu comme le début de War of the worlds de Spielberg).

    That was NOT over Montreal - Near Montreal, like 10-15ish KM. Damnit.

    Il est passé au dessus de chez moi sur le boulevard St-Laurent une heure après, soit vers 10h20. Gros déluge !

    Love your storm video, especially cool is the spotlight on top of the building. Fyi: this is not a "freak" storm, we get these ALL the time here in South Florida. They're called "horizontal lightning" storms, usually on hot evenings over the water. They're spectacular to watch, nature's fireworks!

    Came right over Brossard after I finished work around 9pm. From the ground I knew it was a big cell... didn't know it was this BIG!

    Thanks for the awesome video!

    Heya man. Would it be possible to get a copy of the original? I'd love to use it for a music based video.

    I have a Nikon D3100 and it's a great camera. I wish I could have gotten this shot up there for a private detective short I'm making. Do you have any raw footage of the same video? I live in a small town (16000 people) and we don't have that nice of a skyline. Your video would be great to add to it for an establishing shot. If you have some without the lightning in HD, I'd appreciate it and I'll credit you for the footage, Thanks.

    Great angle for this shot! I think everyone was looking up towards the sky that night. No sound, only lights and blues. Thanks for filming!
