Lightning strike, close call

[No Name]

I was just out in my back yard watching the lightning. Next thing I know a huge bolt strikes the palm tree at the house behind me. Scared the fock out of me, I had to check my shorts after. Anyways here are a couple of picks of the tree burning. Tree is only about 100 feet from me, my focken heart is still racing. :220v:

I live for that excitment, too bad you didn't get a photo of it. Here's a close one I captured July 4th from my backyard in Havasu. This one was about a quarter mile away.
