|  lightning struck hemlock
With the recent storms we have been having here ususally late in the afternoon just after work and right before a shower and dinner mother nature lays some woop ass on us. In a matter of a second or so this 80ish year old hemlock lost its life. Pretty straight forward removal got the top off the garage and sheds than came back the next morning to get the trunk down. The bolt hit the tree down to the ground under the shed over to the house (maybe 30ft) hit a retaining wall and blew rocks up on the porch and into the swimming pool.Enjoy  |

Not to much damage the small metal shed took a good shot and the garage had 1 hole about 10'' and a few smaller one's the HO got lucky.

Nice picts. Nasty strike. Lucky garage didn't catch on fire, looks like slabwood siding. Where you at east Pa.? You near the Delaware? Hard to believe people plant hemlocks up against their foundation all the time (landscapers too) when they can get over 100' tall.
