A few weeks ago when Craig and I were camping up north we visited Hartwick Pines State Park and took a drive on the parks scenic drive. The night before in the middle of the night a pretty big thunderstorm rolled through. Driving along Craig noticed this tree that had been hit by lightening. Here's Craig holding the bark that was blown off the tree.
Pretty impressive, huh? I'd never seen anything like this before.
I'm not good at guessing how tall this tree was but it was HUGE and the bark was blown off from the top all the way down to the dirt. I wonder how often something like this happens.

Wow! Such power in one lightening bolt.
WOW too! That is amazing!!! I am going to have to show this to some of my science friends!
Jessica- If you have the time, go to my blog and go into the archives and look at my post from Feb. 1, 2008. It's related to this post, and you'll be amazed!
