I did some research of my own on lightening and one of the things things that happens to trees when struck is that their bark is stripped.<br /><br />Around 650 people have been killed by lightning in Australia since 1803 and in the US there are an average of 62 deaths per year.<br /><br />The safest place to be during lightening is to be inside or in a car with the windows wound up and you not touching an metal parts.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-87537826982812127682012-08-15T16:23:42.501+10:002012-08-15T16:23:42.501+10:00Poor guy,what a way to go, out with a bang.Poor guy,what a way to go, out with a bang.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-70218878380552617792012-08-15T02:42:29.164+10:002012-08-15T02:42:29.164+10:00I like the way the headstone is newsy and gives de...I like the way the headstone is newsy and gives details. No doubt sheltering under a tree was not the wisest move in a storm. Yet, a completely instinctual action to take.
