Residents of southern B.C. took in a show in the skies on Thursday night as a lightning storm swept through the Okanagan and Kootenay regions. Videos submitted to CTV News show several spectacular flashes in the Osoyoos and Oliver area, including a dash-cam clip that shows a lightning strike on a power pole. The Anarchist Mountain Fire Department urged residents to keep an eye out for smoke and call 911 if any rose. It appears a handful of small wildfires were sparked in the region during the lightning storm, but all were under one hectare as of late Friday morning.
