the lightning was hitting buildings in Manhattan?
I had to deal with lightning for two or three days now, and showers that wouldn't stop.
I can hear lightning rumbling right now.
If it hits something it causes an explosion and trees might catch fire. Plus it is always invovled with fierce winds, hail, and down burst, and sudden drops in temperature, and squally lakes, and inlets. Makes it dangerous to be on the water or out in the open, at the beach, or even walking around outside.
so that's how.
