We just had a huge Thunderstorm!! One of the trees in our Horse pasture got struck by lightning!! What a ruckous that made! I went out after the storm and took some pics! Amazing!

This last piece flew at least 75 feet, landed in the trees,a nd was at least 12-15feet long!

The Scarriest thing about the whole Ordeal, was I was just about to go outside when It happened! I had the door open, and was just stepping out when the Lightning struck! I was trying to go and fix the Chicken coop door, which had been blown shut, and all the poor chickens were getting drenched trying to get in. Needless to say I waited a bit before chancing it!
