⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC (Narrated) : Severe Thunderstorm Walk on 5th Avenue, Times Square & Broadway

I walk through Manhattan in the middle of a severe thunderstorm during rush hour on 42nd Street, 5th Avenue, Rockefeller Center, 49th Street, Times Square, Broadway, Herald Square, The Flatiron District, and SoHo. NYC Emergency Management called for severe thunderstorms from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM with a tornado watch also in effect. This was also the day of the half sun Manhattanhenge, when the sunset aligns with the street grid of Manhattan. However, it was not observable due to the rain clouds.

I always said if I ever visit New York I would love to have a New Yorker show me around, and I found just that in this video, I really felt like a friend was showing me around his hometown.

I don't know if it's because I'm super high but watching these videos is amazing, not just the filming, commentary and what not but just to see SO.MANY.PEOPLE. all going on about their lives. It makes me sit and wonder where they're going, what they were feeling that day, what's going on in their lives as they walk by....amazing stuff to think about sometimes. These videos just make me feel so appreciative towards life.

With the rain, dark sky and all the lights in Time Square this was a really nice video for someone like me who loves cold and rainy weather.
