As you can see the wood is scorched, fortunately dead already, suffered no pain, no chance of resuscitation, or turning over a new leaf ???? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might still be able to find a great video of lightning landing near our depot, in approximately the same space twice within a few seconds, each strike lasting a significant fraction of a second. Here, lightning deaths are almost exclusively male - mainly golfers, and construction workers in buildings where the earthing is not complete.
