Lightning strikes and how close was that!

the last bit to be removed, they spent all day cutting the tree up and taking it away


We had a huge thunder and lightning storm and Corinna thoght the Rain Tree next door was struck, there was a mighty flash.
The next day we looked out of the window and there was a HUGE gap in our treeline - the rain tree had broken off where the lightning had earthed and the tree had fallen away from our house and pool, away from the railway line and had missed the Electricity station. The only things damaged where two fences.
