On October 28, 1998, a freak blast of lightning struck dead an entire soccer team in the African state of Congo during a match, while their opponents were left entirely unharmed. All 11 team members, aged between 20 and 35 years old, lost their lives, while members of the home team were untouched. Many soccer fans blamed witchcraft for the bizarre incident because, incidentally, the score was tied at the time of the deadly lightning strike.

Pine cones open and close depending on the humidity to help their seeds disperse. Light seeds are contained inside the pine cone. When the weather is dry the pine cone opens up, so wind can catch the seeds and allow them to be dispersed in the air far away from the original tree. When humidity rises and rain is coming, the pine cone closes up to prevent the seeds from escaping and becoming waterlogged.

"Raining animals" is a rare but real meteorological phenomenon when animals fall from the sky. But, before you let your imagination run wild, "raining cats and dogs" isn't what happens. Instead, you'll just get pummeled with fish and frogs.

The phrase "lightning never strikes the same place twice" is a total myth. The reality is that lightning can and will strike the same place twice, whether during the same storm or centuries later. There is a significant attraction between the lightning bolt and the place it previously hit, so it's more likely that it would be struck again. Skyscrapers like the Empire State Building are almost guaranteed to be struck by lightning each time a thunderstorm passes overhead. Luckily, such structures generally have built-in lightning rods to make sure no damage is done to the building.

Though the parties raged on, there wasn't a ball drop until 1907.
Fireworks were previously used to welcome the new year, but they were banned because burning embers were falling on the crowd. A ball being lowered on a flagpole was a safer bet.
