"The storm yesterday afternoon was part of the latest blast of bad weather to hit New York.
The murky skies and lightning, seen from across the East River in this dramatic picture, were accompaniedby 72mph winds and a deluge which saw an inch of rain fall in nearby Central Park.
There was no damage to the 1,454ft Empire State Building.
The lightning rod at its very top absorbs such strikes around 100 times a year.
It may not, however, have been such a good day to visit the outdoor viewing gallery on the 86th floor."
Just thought this was cool. You don't see this very often in LA with their buildings not being so tall. But the person who took that picture must have been waiting very patiently. Or he just used photoshop.
At least this is better than talking about how Al Gore is tired of politics.
