The Fury of Nature


Last Thursday's scary thunderstorm left several trees in my neighborhood damaged by lightning. The bark must have just exploded off the trees! Whole strips of the bark can be found littered on ground up to 20 feet away. A line of exposed wood runs all the way up the trees; from the ground to the very top of the trees. Poor trees! I don't think they will survive. I've Hockneyizered the photo on the left.

I once had a piece of electrified dirt. We gave it to my son's Science teacher for display. He was so excited about it. There was a scientific term or name for it, but I can't remember. I've been searching some science books looking for it. Maybe someone who reads this may know.
