A 70' Pine was struck by lightening Thursday night in a Damascus neighborhood greenway. It hit the center of the tree sending bark debris and kindling as far as 50' away. Some of the branches were speared in the ground like swords.

Isn't this right next to or the same tree that was stuck by lightning last year?
