Lightning






Lightning hit a pine tree by my friends, Jan and Bills home. It shredded the tree and blew the top off it--left only 12 ft. standing and the rest shredded over a 150ft. area. It blew the wire right out of the phone box outside and blew the cover off the main box at the road. Was a sight to see. There was dirt blown out at the base of the tree also. The power of lightning is a thing to behold. I'm so glad it was early in the morning and they were not outside. It could have been a tragedy.
