Lightning hits Empire State Building
Lightning zapped New York's Empire State Building during the May 17 storm!
There was no damage to the 1,454ft Empire State Building.

 
The lightning rod at its very top absorbs such strikes around 100 times a year.

 
It may not, however, have been such a good day to visit the outdoor viewing gallery on the 86th floor.
