Focus on this artwork and explain the Lightning strike.
On 14 August 2014 at approximately 2:30 pm, the Zephyrometer was struck by lightning during a hail storm, leaving the tip of the sculpture frayed. A spokesman for Wellington City Council confirmed that the "needle" is "completely stuffed". Video of the actual lightning strike itself was captured by Solomon Emet and is viewable on YouTube [1]. The sculpture was restored on May 13, 2015,  but the new needle was composed of a lighter material which caused the sculpture to bend very low in extremely windy conditions.  Additional weight had to be added to the counterbalance.
