Holy moly!! Lightning caught mid-strike as it hits a tree. ⚡ 🌳 😲

I hope the photographer was using an extremely long-range telephoto lens, as lightning will travel along root systems, which can extend some distance away depending upon the type of tree.

Vertical photograph; click to see the full strike and whole tree (or what's left of it).

Lightning zaps a tree, leaving a trail of fire all the way to the ground. What makes this especially dangerous is that the electricity will spread along the root system. Vertical photograph; click to see the lightning and the whole tree (or what's left of it). The photographer is Debbie Parker.
