Did you know? ⚡️
When a tree gets struck by lightning, the damage can be intense. Temperatures can reach up to 50,000°F, instantly turning moisture inside the tree into steam. That rapid pressure can cause bark to split, peel, or even explode off—leaving cracks, scars, and charred wood behind.
It’s always best to have a certified arborist inspect the tree to determine if it’s still safe (I’m not one). If it turns out to be a hazard, give me a call—I’ve got you covered.
