At 4 AM does it make a loud enough sound to scare you out of bed? Hell yes! So last year I thought I was going to be deaf in one ear after a tree outside our bedroom window got struck by lightening. We left the tree and it seemed to be ok except for a few dead limbs.
Well last night we had this really nasty rain storm. Thunder and lightening that sounded like it was on the roof of the house. All of a sudden I head this loud crack! Look out the bedroom window and the lightening tree is coming down! 
The wind was so strong it broke the tree right in half and its headed straight for the back deck. There was nothing we could do but hope that it doesnt land right smack in the middle of the new gazebo we just put up. Tree starts to fall but gets stuck on another tree. Thank goodness for that tree! It broke the fall and caused the tree to fall right down the middle of the back yard. Just missed the swingset and the deck. Of course it also broke the whole top of the other tree and now that is hanging in the air and also needs to be cut.
So I have now made a giant pot of coffee in the hopes that it will help my sleep deprivation. Just when you thought you had no big projects for the upcoming weekend.....HA HA HA!
See the branches by the deck railing? Thats how close the stupid thing came to smashing my new tent!
The tree is laying across about 50 feet of my back yard.
