Still a good shot but in Queensland during electrical storms the night sky can feel like it is almost constantly lit because the lightning is so frequent. Like I say though, I am just guessing 👍 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesD Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I saw a large Dug Fir once that was just hit and the lightning path where the bark peeled looked similar. The sap water exploded violently and blew a line of bark right off. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sourdough Scott Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I was sitting in my truck during a fishing trip when lightning and rain blew in. Lightning hit the large tree next to where I was parked. As the lightning came down the tree blowing bark off like crazy, when the lightning hit the ground it looked like a super large red Lazer beam. It only last a few seconds but was unforgettable. I still have a piece of the tree that was blown off as a keepsake. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I'm definitely out-classed here. I'm just not a good enough person to be near that much lightening. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
