Rolfe 2 Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Just thought you may like to see the result of a lightning strike on an Oak tree. You can see why they tell you never to stand under a tree in a thunder storm. Rolfe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mole trapper 1,705 Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Wierd, you would think it would be burnt, or at the very least the leaves would have been charred. Looks more like one of those filthy travelers has been doing their chainsaw "art". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What you can't see in the picture is that the deep gouge goes another 20 feet up the tree to the very top.....all in a dead straight line. Rolfe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
