Phil Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 http://gothamist.com/2012/06/22/lightning_crashes.php#photo-1 As we warned earlier, some storms were coming our way this afternoon (and this evening)?and, as you probably noticed, the first one just hit. Like, hard. Click through for some photos, including one of the Empire State Building getting zapped?fun fact: the Empire State Building is actually struck by lightning on average 23 times each year!

NYR2711 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 I heard a noise outside my house, and my dogs jumped up from it, we couldnt figure out what it was, and the storm had just started. I opened my front door, and heard the same exact noise as the lightning flashed, and realized it was the lightning, i shut the door, and have been inside since.

Niagaraiceman Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Much better! It is unreal how powerful nature is, even better that it was caught on camera
Karan Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Awesome pics! Always did love lightning shots :) Looks like a wicked thunderstorm.
