Many travelers come to the famous “City of Lights” to see the Eiffel Tower beautifully lit up at night, but this week they got a light show they didn’t expect. Paris and nearby areas were put on storm alert this past Monday due to a nationwide stormfront, and some observers captured the dramatic moment when lightning struck the Eiffel Tower.

The tower was hit not just once, but several times, with locals and tourists alike scrambling to get the best pictures.
