Wow. Nature is not to be toyed with. This tree was beside the house... and my car. We live in a little farmhouse that was built in 1936, with several buildings on the property (feels sort of like on the show "MASH". I've often thought of putting up signs. :D) Here's a pic of the side of my car that faced the tree, and one of the opposite side. There are holes in the ground; I'm guessing where the lightning erupted after going through the tree. It also fried a few electronics and the wiring in one of the outbuildings. It's pretty impressive really-the raw power of it.

So, getting quotes for taking the tree down, which is sad, since it's a large tree. However, I suspect I'll be much sadder if it falls. ;)

Also, my wireless is still wonky. The technician can't fit us in until next Sunday, however.

Thank you for yet more fabulous gifts, Teub! :)
