This is some storm! We've got thunder, lightning, rain, we've got total darkness in Times Square, and there's even been a cameo by HAIL! Question: Are you guys also having a lot of Final Destination type thoughts and feelings as the lightning crashes all around? If you aren't in Child's Pose in the corner waiting for the storm to pass, then maybe you managed to steal its soul with your cameraphone? This thing is better than Manhattanhenge! Feel free to send your storm photos to [email protected], or tag them "Gothamist" on Flickr, or Hashtag them #Gothamist on Instagram.
