It’s the middle of January. Wtf
Bro I’ve lived in the area pretty much my whole life and I’ve never seen lightning / heard thunderin January
Would’ve been thunder snow instead of rain if was properly cold. We’ve had that before
Yeah I was thinking today how this should be a snowstorm. hasn’t even been remotely cold enough to have a chance of snow
Yeah this is a bit weird lol
strap in because we're in for some freaky weather over the coming decades.
This time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized in your kitchen?
There was thunder in Brooklyn last week.
I genuinely thought a nearby building had exploded, I'd completely forgotten it was even raining outside.
Thunder go brrrrr
This meme annoys me and I don't know why
Nooooooo thunder is caused by lightning causing a sudden increase in air temperature leading to a rapid increase air pressure resulting in a sonic shock wave!!
I’m chilling in my apartment and just witnessed a massive lightning strike
Thunder clappin' them cheeks
How did we time hop to August? This is a summer thunderstorm
Time hop? Bruh it’s 5th August. Summer never ended.
August 171st
I do love a good thunder storm
NYC is now a subtropical zone.
For real - we even got dolphins in the Bronx
It was (and still is) really a surprise.
Where snow.
I don’t even like snow that much I just like that work gets less traffic because people aren’t really out when it comes down
I get your cave person sentence somehow and agree. Snow good.
Incredibly bright lightning and loud thunder for what seemed like minutes before rain and hail here in Astoria.
That shit was nuts
What season are we in?
mother nature wants to make sure you are still awake
My dog was terrified. Astoria here, right over our heads…. She’s still shaking
Scary AF
Was walking my dog when it came down. She was not thrilled.
I just heard it like 3 minutes ago but you posted 12 mins ago (as of time of posting it) lol.
It’s a big city
I don’t remember lightning ever lighting up my apartment like that before.
Something very calming about it. The rumble in the big sky
Yes.
its goin buck
The fact I didn't hear the rain until now, granted I was listening to music, is a testament to how much I am used to the rain.
Just clapped up here in Yonkers.
my dog flipped the fuck out and hid in a closet
I hid in the closet for a long time too...
Flushing here and power is still good, but I deadass thought it was an explosion.

unsure if storm related or weed strain
Shitted my pants
yeah. noticed today the tree out front was beginning to bud. nature thinks its frakin summer.
That lightning clap 👏
That was really nearby. Started counting the number of seconds between lighting and thunder and didn't even get to 1.
A reminder for anyone who might be unfamilar with lightning: whatever you do, don't be like these people!

Pretty lit. My doggy didn’t enjoy it though.
Happened to be watching a horror movie at home when it started 😎
Heard what I thought was hard rain, I now know was hail. Got colder this afternoon though for sure. I walked up to the tin building for lunch and you could feel that wind.

At least it wasn't as wild as the one from a few months ago, where people thought terries attacked.
Bizarre
I was passed out. What happened???
I thought I was just imagining that
It was hailing for a few mins too!
Came out of nowhere! I thought something exploded at first haha.
Hit the ground 20 foot from me. I fell and my dog went running 🤣

Yep, definitely scared me. I was watching MrBallen on Youtube and had to pause to go look out the window to make sure nothing bad had happened outside.
Not great to be driving on the fdr at that time 🥲
I legit thought a bomb went off on 6th Ave
I actually literally half jumped off the couch it was so loud
I heard they lost power in Queens!
Not in Northern Queens.
I'm in deep eastern Queens & haven't even heard thunder yet
Maybe in other parts but I’m in Jackson Heights and doing okay power wise
