    I bet you're still awe struck when you see the tree. Our neighbor's seems to attract lightning. I agree with everybody about lightning being the most scary, and I'm a storm chaser. I'm usually out following tornados with no fear, but I avoid lightning. We can sit at our window during bad storms and watch it touch all the way to the ground.

    Wow.... I see you got hit with the storms just like we did. The lightning was really scary. We were at the gas station and one struck the traffic lights on the road in front of the station. Very scary.

    Amazing pictures though. So glad you decided to stay inside lol




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    Depends on the tree, box elder trees regenerate quickly. I don't think a cherry tree would though. Those are really tall cherry trees!!

    Our storm blew through at around 5 p.m. and dropped small hail for 10 minutes straight.

    I was camping and witnessed lightning strike a tree. Boy was it ever loud!

    I'm glad you're okay. I know my heart would be racing.
