Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Viral Dashcam footage shows moment lightning struck statue of Liberty torch.
Social media is filled with posts depicting the severity of yesterday’s rain—from flooded subways to power outages and more—but we found one specific photo taken by the Statue of Liberty that truly knocked us off our feet.
In the picture, taken by photographer Dan Martland and posted on Instagram, a lightning bolt seems to directly hit (or, honestly, come out of), Lady Liberty’s torch.
The massive downed tree, covered in beautiful white flowers, also completely closed off the street to traffic as it lay entirely across the road.
Unbelievable photos taken during Wednesday’s storm also showed lightning appearing to strike the Statue of Liberty’s torch.
Another clip shows a large tree that toppled onto a car Wednesday on West 102nd Street in Manhattan, mangling its trunk. Shattered glass from the car’s rear windscreen can be seen scattered across the road.
