    This made the national news here in the US, as well -- it's such an unusual and sad thing to have happened.

    Poor cows -- they had no way of knowing about the danger of lightning.

    The article said that the wet animals were huddling together, that's why so many of them died when the lightning struck the tree...

    When you google for it, you'll find that it happened several times before (I didn't know that). I always loved thunderstorms, but it seems I underestimated the danger for the animals outside.
