American Eagle flight emergency landing at LaGuardia (lightning strikes)

We are having terrible weather here in NYC today (I could have sworn I saw an ark float by earlier this morning). Anyway, an American Eagle flight from Detroit made an emergency landing at La Guardia today, after being struck by lightning, not once, but twice. No one was injured:

An American Eagle flight from Detroit has landed safely at New York’s LaGuardia Airport after being struck by lightning.

American Airlines spokesman Matt Miller says American Eagle Flight 4563 was struck twice by lightning as it approached New York on Wednesday morning.
