FOXweather down due to lightning stroke

Today a heavy thunderstorm passed over Queens county and quite a few flashes occurred close to FOXweather.
Sadly again this caused some weather equipment to spark resulting in a station outage from 30-Jun-2019/16:02 ADT to 16:23 ADT.

All systems could be recovered and no data was lost.

FOXweather was back online: 16:23 ADT.
FOXlive data was back online: 16:35 ADT

However the FOXcam Southwest is currently down and might need replacement. This will take a few days.
