If that was from a blast, I’d have to imagine windows nearby would be broken? That damage looks like it had some force to it. Would think windows would be broken. Expand Yeah agreed. I questioned my sister while they were investigating… no burn marks or anything on the deck. Would a step show burnt wood? It was very odd to me. Like tree gets hit by lightning, deck blows apart too. I was asking if the tree hit the deck, nope. Just bizarre damage pattern. She said they thought their house was hit as it shook the whole house. Asked about windows and they said no broken windows, which would go first I’d assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand electrical impulse doesn't always convert to thermal energy - it can "disassociate" matter too. But yeah, it's still a fair question.

Typhoon Tip Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Kinda makes you think about the dangers of any exposure at all to a thunderstorm. I can't tell how many times I've stepped out for a geek moment during thunder ..geesh. Like, ...oh say, just gonna step out on the deck for a second to check out the storm. heh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 this one's been memed around quite a bit... It absolutely detonates the tree into fibers and pretty much ends its life. (f'n tree! huh) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleetussnow Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Lightening struck my neighbors cherry tree 3 yrs ago. It a barrel 6 feet in diameter. Split it to the roots. I was in my home office and it sounded and felt like a bomb went off. Shook my house. I looked and saw half of it falling to the ground. Tree was detonated. I have stacks of it still - we split it up and divided it among the helpers. I do not remember seeing anything blackened. Could have done, but I didnt see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I've seen a white pine get obliterated when it was struck by a bolt at the golf course about 10 yrs ago when we had a severe cell come thru and we just got back in the clubhouse and there were shards of the tree scattered all over a 50 yd radius as it just exploded, Even the ground got fried where the roots traveled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand When I was a kid I was on the campus of Bowdoin College (don’t recall why) when a big storm rolled through. We were in one of the buildings on a quad or something. Big pines all around. A huge bolt zapped one of the trees less than 100 feet from us. Big chunks of bark went everywhere I kept a piece for a while. that was probably early 1980s 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I doubt it will be like this next weekend. Pattern’s more likely to fade into a hybrid Bahama blue /EC parallel circulation type if the ridge really breaks down that fast. This recent trough was likely the last of the cold pool above mild breezes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was probably the last of the cold pocket severed drift down over New England butt poke troughs. Even if we don’t get the heat wave at the end of the week, the pattern is different - it’s not going back to this. Tell that to people right? It’s not gonna fly until they start to feel it or see it but that’s what all the available techniques and tools out there are really signaling at this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 You could tell there was going to be two Invests by the end of today looking across the MDR. i’ve noticed this over the years that those TWs tend to come off in pairs. Often times the lead wave will “eat” the SAL and sacrifice itself for the second one… I mean I don’t think that’s what’s going on with this scenario, but seeing the duple waves, it’s not a surprise to me.
