A dramatic lightning bolt strikes the spire of One World Trade Center as powerful thunderstorms sweep across New York City following a hot and humid day. The severe weather brought heavy rain, damaging winds, intense lightning, hail and flash-flooding risks across the region. Storms moved into New York after 6 PM, with rainfall reaching up to 1 to 2 inches per hour in the heaviest areas. LaGuardia, JFK and Newark airports experienced major flight delays and cancellations, while strong winds caused downed trees, wires and other property damage across parts of Queens and Brooklyn. The spectacular lightning strike on One World Trade Center quickly became the defining image of the storm. Despite the dramatic impact, no major structural damage was widely reported, and the tower is designed to withstand lightning strikes and severe weather. As photos and videos spread across social media, the storm highlighted the powerful weather system moving through New York and the wider Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. #OneWorldTradeCenter #LightningStrike #NewYorkStorm #NYCWeather #NYCThunderstorm #ManhattanLightning #NewYorkLightning #SevereWeather #Thunderstorms #NYCStorm #LightningNYC #ManhattanStorm #FlashFlooding #HeavyRain #DamagingWinds #NYCNews #NewYorkNews #StormWarning #WeatherAlert #OneWTC #WorldTradeCenter #LightningStorm #SevereThunderstorm #NYCFlightDelays #NewYorkWeather~PR.460~HT.408~GR.508~VG.MX~
