Why it worked

The video likely performed well due to the dramatic and rare natural phenomenon of lightning striking over a prominent landmark during a sunset, creating visually stunning and shareable content.

Summary

The video captures a beautiful sunset over the Mario Cuomo Bridge (formerly Tappan Zee Bridge) which is then dramatically interrupted by rolling storm clouds. The creator was able to film lightning strikes over the bridge during the storm.
