Friday afternoon I came home from work at about 1pm... I wasn't feeling well so i decided to lay down for a bit...
I fell asleep and was having a good nap when the house phone rang (yes I still have one of those and yes they always ring at the worst time)... anyhow... I rolled over to get out of bed, still half asleep ....as i looked in the living room mirror.....
There was bright white lightning bolt zipper down a pine tree just outside our deck.... I watched as it traveled down the tree in disbelief.... weirdest thing I have ever seen and amazing at the same time!!
The first pic below is from the deck thru the screen (sorry bad pic!)
The bang that followed scared the cats and they scattered.
After the rain let up and lightning stopped I walked out to see the damage....
Tree to the house distance.
My poor dog was on the deck but didnt seem too phased.

Holy......MEOW!! We rarely get thunder and lightening where we live, but when we do, I run for cover! That must have been scary for both you and the kitties! I'm glad your dog was on the porch and nowhere near that! MEOW....MEOW!!
Wow! That's amazing and scary! Glad you and yours are all OK!
WOW, reminds me of seeing lightning hit one of our trees in our front yard 2 years ago. It was like an explosion. So awesome but so loud at the same time. Not too long ago we had a 2nd tree hit by lightning on the edge of our property.
