ALBAWABA -  An earthquake struck New York today, followed by a peculiar lightning strike hitting the Statue of Liberty, as the American people await a rare eclipse that won't recur for twenty years.

Social media platforms have been abuzz with connections between the three most unusual natural phenomena occurring within the same timeframe, with anticipation for the rare eclipse that both America and Mexico will witness for approximately an hour and 40 minutes next Monday.

The attempts to link the earthquake, lightning, and the rare eclipse, which will not occur again until 2044, have been notable. New York is expected to witness the eclipse very clearly on Monday, and the world continues to await its recording in history.

Contrary to studies and predictions, rumors have recently emerged suggesting that the sun may not rise again after the awaited eclipse. Some also believe that these natural disasters are linked to the Day of Judgment or divine wrath due to the wars in which the United States has been involved. These speculations have sparked widespread discussion and concern among the public, adding a layer of uncertainty to an already unusual series of events.

In reference to the 2017 eclipse, the path of totality for the forthcoming total solar eclipse will be much larger with 31.6 million people residing in the path compared to 12 million in 2017. Additionally, compared to the 2017 course, the eclipse in 2024 will cross over greater number of towns and populated regions.

A recent photograph taken during storms in the Tri-state area captured a striking moment as a bolt of lightning appeared to strike the Statue of Liberty's torch on April 3.

The iconic Lady Liberty, a symbol of freedom and justice, is no stranger to lightning strikes, reportedly enduring several strikes each year due to her height and copper coating, which conducts electricity.

Originally completed in 1886 with copper panels shining like new pennies, the Statue of Liberty's iconic greenish-blue color developed over the years as the copper oxidized.
