The lightning strike that blasted this oak naturally went from bottom to top instantly vaporizing the sap to steam blowing away the bark along its' pathway - although I didn't get a good photo of the damage at the very top, visually it is evident that one of the major branchings at the top is dead - leaves hanging brown and lifeless. Whether the tree will survive or just become another contributor to my fire wood supply remains to be seen.
