If you happened to be in New York this past week, you might have seen the epic thunderstorm that ruled over the city on Tuesday evening.
If you weren’t there, thank the high heavens for Twitter.

Lucky for us, some pics were shared with the world – take a look:
Some were even to capture recordings of the strike:

Probably should have warned you to turn down the volume – those squeals are almost as deafening as the sun is blinding.
