Mother nature

Storms came through a while back and when I went for my walk I discovered this tree that was blown apart by lightening. I think the lightening hit the ground and then went up the tree blowing it apart. I think this because I couldn't find any burnt areas on the tree. Here is a picture of it.

Below is picture of a piece of the tree. You can see how far away the debris was thrown. It is as the bottom of this picture.




























Here is a picture that shows what the tree looked like before it was hit. The tree on the right is undamaged and the same size and type as the one destroyed.




















That's it. I just found this interesting and decided to share.
