Big Oak Tree
This last Friday we were hit with some pretty good thunderstorms. The highlight of my Friday night was sitting at the kitchen table with my family, just about to serve up some ice cream when a lightning strike touched down right outside the house – specifically, hitting our neighbor’s ~80 foot tall oak tree about 40 yards away from where I was sitting. To the left is the tree in question – a marvel of nature’s longevity
On this night I learned a few important things.
