A massive rainstorm rolled into New York City on Thursday afternoon, causing New Yorkers to send out of a flurry of posts on social media documenting the storm.
The storm caused the National Weather Service to issue a severe thunderstorm watch for Thursday afternoon and evening.
It looked like something out of a thriller movie.
Here it is from the vantage point of the Empire State Building:
