[QUOTE="Allen, post: 491828, member: 389"] I agree with JuanR, if it's damaged and within reach of the home, the risks outweigh the benefits. Trees that get hit by lightning undergo immediate and intense boiling of the water within them which can cause them to explode, or as in this case split. Think of them as being similar to a pressure cooker that explodes. Maybe 12-15 years ago I saw a tree up between Wilton and New John's get hit by lightning. It literally detonated that tree (large cottonwood) to the point there were 6 inch diameter branches that flew for almost 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
