Thunder and Lightening Storm - and I missed It

There was a massive thunder and lightening storm in Yellowknife Sunday night and I MISSED IT! We rarely get them, or any real storms for that matter, snow or rain. A coworker sent me these photos and said that "It was recorded as the biggest storm the NWT has ever had with over 78,000 strikes! 10,000of them positive! Positive strikes are the strikes which start fires,and are a lot more dangerous."
