I don't think anyone who witnessed the early morning storm that hit Edmonton on July 18th 2011 will forget it in a hurry. It's not that it was a particularly big or damaging storm - it was the light. Everyone I've spoken to says the same thing: when they woke up, it was like the world had ended. Edmonton was bathed in a surreal yellowy-orange light as the storm rolled in from the west and met the light from the rising sun.

Unfortunately, by the time I got outside with my camera, the best opportunity for photographs had passed (the storm front was already almost above me), so I suggest you check out this baby

for an idea of what that weird morning looked like.
