I will know in six weeks if the lightning strike killed this live oak or just maimed it. If it killed it, in six weeks all the leaves will be brown.

I hope it survives. That boiled sap turns to concrete. Poor thing...

I hope it survives but the power of nature is stronger sometimes

Hopefully just a maim and it will recover. Yep, I agree...show it again in 6 weeks!

That's a good hit but I've seen trees around here take a hit like this and they're still here today! Let's hope it's OK.

They are tough old tree's, lets hope for the best.

a natural reminder of how quickly it can all come to an end.

We can only hope it will be OK, nice prospective Coleen!

Keep an eye on it and keep us posted!

The reason not to seek shelter under a tree during a thunderstorm, at least not the tallest tree. Let's see this again in 6 or so weeks.
