Lightening Strike

A couple of impressive storms rolled over Singapore last night; we watched the forked lightening from the balcony.

This tree obviously copped it good style, the bark is all blown off in that zig-zag style you sometime see. I'd say the parks department were unlucky to lose one of their's, considering the density of tower blocks in the area.

Did you know a lightening strike is the shortest time interval recorded in the geological record? 's true, rocks or trees split by lightening, fossilized for all to see....
