See NYC get hit with today's insane thunderstorm

We needed a break from the awful humidity, but this may actually be a downgrade. New York City just got hit with a torrential downpour, sending pedestrians running for shelter. Did you get caught in the rain, or were you standing at the windows of your office watching and laughing? Check out the best photos and videos of the storm, and keep an eye out for a post-shower rainbow.
