It really is amazing how easily lightning can blast a tree apart. As you have said, the force involved is just amazing.

I've photographed a few in the last few years, I've attached shots of two. One was so destroyed the entire trunk was splintered leaving only shards sticking out where the stump was, and large limbs and shards for 30 metres around. Very hard to photograph in the lighting and cluttered bush sorry.

Souns like your house was very lucky Terry.
