Lightning striking the buildings near the Statue of Liberty and nearby in the New York Harbor
Longer version
The same storm caused this possible tornado (or wall of rain). two other tornadoes were confirmed.
Tornadoes and bizarre weather have been occurring for several years. This was filmed in 2008.
It seemed like the statue was a magnet. Great video.
