RT NewsA powerful thunderstorm rolled through New York on Wednesday, providing the residents with scary, but spectacular light show as hurricane Arthur is expected to touch down.
The thunderstorm hit the Big Apple at 8:00 pm ET, bringing black clouds and heavy rain with it.
Massive lightning bolts cut apart the skies above Manhattan, with one striking the top of One World Trade Center.
The wild weather quickly attracted amateur and professional photographers, who posted numerous photos of the thunderstorm on the web.

After it passed, people flocked to the streets to take pictures of the beautiful sunset, which was colored in orange and purple.

However, it wasn’t fun for some, as the storm led to a collapse of a section of the facade inside an underpass of the Brooklyn Bridge.
The incident saw five people receiving minor injuries, a fire department spokesman said.
The heavy rain left parts of New York and nearby areas flooded. The flash flood warning will be in effect in the city until noon on Friday.
Arthur, the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to bring more thunderstorms, heavy rain and winds of over 130 kilometers per hour to much of the America’s Northeast on Friday.
Meteorologists say the weather is likely to improve until late Friday, and won’t hamper the traditional Independence Day fireworks on July 4.

That was last night. It’s back. The sky just opened up again, 2 minutes ago, with Much more lightning and Much heavier rain.

I can either see two things from this:
1. The Satanic elitist bastards are doing a ritual and chanting,
“On a mountain of skulls, in the castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood! What was will be! What is will be no more! Now is the season of evil!”
(The character VIGO from Ghostbusters II)
OR
2. God is really pissed off!
Chemtrails and HAARP cause this.
Yep, that’s also part of it.
