I thought it was kind of "electrifying".

We had a couple of strikes here this afternoon less than 500 ft away,
almost no delay between flash and bang. That certainly gets your
attention.

Last summer, we had a number of similar incidents - I figured they
were all on the other side of the lake.

NNNNOOOOOOO........

I went down back the other day and found six dead swamp oak trees -
typical strikes - bark stripped, burn marks down the trunks and deader
than a door nail.
