Docwagon 856 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 We had a massive storm a few days ago. I was at work, looked out the window and everything was fine, a few minutes later looked out and it was pitch black. My wife said she heard lightning hear nearby so loud she thought it hit the house. Turns out it didn't, but it did hit a tree in our front yard. What I suppose is the entrance: Other side: Plumbers Crack, Jason, Shocketh and 5 others 8 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/1365-lightning-struck-tree-in-my-front-yard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megan 35 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Wow! Kudos to the tree, it seems to be standing pretty tall despite the gaping hole in its trunk Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/1365-lightning-struck-tree-in-my-front-yard/#findComment-34283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palle 491 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Scary. One summer when I was in 6th grade we went on a field trip in Stockholm. After a while the sky we saw black clouds coming pretty fast and it started to rain within minutes, the most rain I've ever experienced in Sweden... So we started leaving because we heard thunder and all our clothes were soaked. After walking 20 meters from the plain were we had been I just turned my head to look back and when I did, lighting struck the ground at just that particular spot were we sat. The sound was terrifying, like a bomb going off and you could instantly feel the air pressure changing... Closest I've ever been to lightning. It was about as close as the tree in the background in your pic.
