This is a lightening strike. Old farm woman here. I've seen this many times.

@karenblanck7726 Год назад

Looks more like a lightening strike 🤷🏼‍♀️. Or could be a micro burst. We had a micro burst hit a tree in our yard which splintered and the shattered tree took out the garage and a car. No other damage on the street to any other houses or trees. It’s amazing that a single burst of wind can create such a massive isolated event.

@Og-Judy Год назад

Looks like one of our trees that got hit by lightning

@neenee7362 Год назад

If it was lightening the tree will soon begin to die. When the lightening strikes a tree it literally blows up where the strike hits. Would be other damage if it was a tornado.

@deborajensen8637 Год назад

I also believe it was lightning. I was standing looking out the kitchen window while washing the dishes when lightning hit a tree in the dog lot. One of the dogs was thrown 100 ft, over 3/4 of the tree became 20 plus pound shrapnel. Which punched holes into the side of my home and knock out windows. Four surrounding trees later died.

@LindaSChastain Год назад

I believe some areas have a stronger magnetic field that draw tornado, lightning, and micro bursts such as you had. Thank God you are safe.

@neesha9542 Год назад

If it was hit by lightning, wouldn't there be signs of excessive heat damage like charring?

@suzannen555 Год назад

I think it was lightning too. That explains all the splintered pieces everywhere. Still a shame but glad you're all safe.

@donnawilmeth8674 Год назад

If it was lightning it would have burn places on it

@cathyhannold1849 Год назад

Same

@lynnatwmahalfsteading6139 Год назад

When lightening struck my tree it burned it and left it called a grade wood a very deep maroon color.

@JeremiahsLot Год назад

Yes a lightning strike isn’t that clean. But a lightning strike can do a lot of damage. But no burns that we saw.

@Og-Judy Год назад

@@donnawilmeth8674 We had a tree hit by lightning. It exploded the same way and limbs damaged the car. It did not leave scorch marks

@tanyabailey2784 Год назад

No tornado Granger, that is a major direct lightning strike!! I have seen it several times on our property.

@MooreV14 Год назад

My husband and I think it was probably lightening considering no other trees were destroyed. Seems like a big lightening strike that made the pieces scatter!

@EAndrew Год назад

I’ve had lightning hit a maple smaller than that 3 times and never split like that.

@txrdhdinaz184 Год назад

@Andrew It depends on the moisture content of the tree how much damage a lightning strike causes. I have seen some barely damaged if there hasn't been recent rain and I have seen trees bigger than this tree shattered with pieces blown close to 100 yards aways through heavy forestation after 4 days of continuous rain.

@CherokeesJeepLife Год назад

Very well might of been lightning. When it hits, it explodes trees. Look at the bright side....great wood to smoke with or keep you warm in the winter. I would be excited for all that oak wood. Go use it and make a brisket.

@subarulyfe8317 Год назад

Could it have been a lightning strike?

@ashleyphillips7270 Год назад

That was my thought. Could be the lighting, but some of the wood/bark looked charred.

@SFDearing1 Год назад

I would lean more toward a lightning strike the way it all exploded and it was only that lone tree in the area. A tornado typically is on the ground for some period of time and has a clear path of travel and destruction. Just my humble opinion.

@karenleggett3097 Год назад

I’m a farmers daughter and this is prime entertainment. Love watching weather docs and shows. Maverick is such a cutie.

@MrsAlmaTrumble Год назад

I'm so glad y'all are safe. We had one hit 50 yards from our home last Friday night. A lot of people lost their homes, businesses, loved ones, and etc. Please pray for them and others who lost everything in the tornadoes.

@kathyrupert1425 Год назад

Sure, I will pray that Jesus is the reason we can have hope. He will be with all of you. What a friend we have in Jesus. I will pray for the help of everyone involved, and he is already there.

I know the master of the wind. I know the maker of the rain. He can calm the storm, make the sun shine again. I know the master of the wind. (This episode brought that song to mind!)

@bowed305 Год назад

I like that perspective.

@MacTX Год назад

The destruction looks far too pinpoint accurate to be a tornado touch down or even high winds, it would have caused much more damage to surrounding trees, especially in an area as densely planted with trees as that. If I had to guess, it was probably struck by lightning. That kind of limb damage is consistent with others I've seen, particularly with the vertical split line going down the trunk of the affected limb and what looks like black charred remnants of bark in the affect parts.

@judyherman1249 Год назад

I totally agree!

@CraigWilsonAust Год назад

I live in Australia, so we don't tend to see damage from tornadoes, I have, however, seen similar damage created from a lightning strike. It blew the tree apart like someone had planted an explosive inside.

@tanyabailey2784 Год назад

Yes that was definitely a lightning strike. Have had several on my property. Sometimes they explode just like that and sometimes not, just the crack in the tree with the bark missing. Like was on your tree trunk that was still standing. Lighting does not always scorch the wood either.

@One_Crazy_Dog_Mum Год назад

Fellow Aussie here, we’ve had plenty of lightening strikes on our property & the neighbours had a tree struck near their bore pump which blew the tree apart, surged the pump and power point then it travelled up to the main switch board on the house about an 200 meters away & blew the breakers out, it was CRAZY and we heard it from out place about 800 meters away

@jeannerountree952 Год назад

I wonder too if it could’ve been lightning. What you might need to do is get someone in there to look at that because they do want to record all the tornadoes that touchdown. So you should stop touching everything and find out if it was straight line, winds, a tornado or lightning. Have a great day. Sending love from Wisconsin.

@FILLADOMINATEatMRP Год назад

Looks like lightning to me

@gretalanier8055 Год назад

Definitely NOT BORING!!! That is incredible to imagine the power it took to take that tree down and launch those pieces!!! Maverick is such a handsome guy playing with his dogs!!! Love you guys and so thankful you are all safe!!! ♥️🥰♥️

@realoscaryarrito Год назад

A lightning strike would cause that kind of damage. There could have been a piece on metal or moisture pocket in the tree that when hit by lightning, could cause the tree to explode like that. And the only charring would be at the point of impact and exit. Check the lightning strike weather reports. they record almost all activity in your area.

@DustToGloryPW Год назад

Definitely looks more like a lightning strike, pretty wild!

@lisathomson511 Год назад

Maybe lightning or straight line winds took your tree. I'm so glad Amber and the kids weren't injured. ❤🤠❤️

@stanbroadway8175 Год назад

Consider a direct lightning strike. Even a small tornado would damage more. The explosion may be more from lightning energy.

@dannyhefner3074 Год назад

I had a tree that had something similar happen. I was home when it happened, but it was lightning. No burn spots, but made it explode like your tree

@Wolfpug Год назад

WOW! That is just mind boggling. Just goes to show how God kept His hands on your family & the house & animals during that tornado!

@jillybean4480 Год назад

All that matters is that you guys are safe and sound.❤️🙏

@jeannerountree952 Год назад

Something to think about is thinning the trees by your home. Any trees that are weak, or actually massive that could fall on top of your beautiful home may need to be cut down. Once again, thank you for sharing.

@amywhigham4790 Год назад

Wow! That is amazing! It could be a lighting strike also that could have sent the branches everywhere! Glad you were all safe! 🥰 Mavy is so cute! 🤗 Love how he says, Dadda and Hi! 🥰 He's so sweet to the dogs too! 🐶🐕

God created and now he is taking it away he is in power and I don’t think he is happy either because his creation of earth is being destroyed! You never know what will happen next but all we can do is pray for us to be saved!

@williamtaber8103 Год назад

that tree looks like it took a direct hit from a maga lightening bolt!

@laydp2760 Год назад

This looks like a lightning strike and not a tornado. There is no twisting of wood, but there are "clean cuts." As you said, it looked as though it had been cut by a saw. I'm certainly no meteorologist or tree specialist, but I have seen many a tree in my life that has been struck or been near a lightning strike, and that is what this looks like to me. I would love to hear what it was definitively if you ever find out. Either way, I am grateful your family is safe and no one else was harmed. I am sad, though, for the old man tree who has seen more of life than you and me put together. 🌳 GOD bless. Peace.

It looks like it was Lightning that hit the tree. Lightning makes a tree look like explodes. Saw it when I was a little girl. That was over 50 years ago and I have never forgotten it.

@lonncraw9263 Год назад

I would take the broken limbs like that and mill some of it into like furniture or a play ground. Recycle it into something other then fire wood

@jessicaewing3319 Год назад

Lightening most likely. If it was a tornado even a very small one, more than just the one tree would be destroyed.

@Devil3R Год назад

More like a lightning strike. Explodes them like that. Tornado would have done that but thrown stuff further and more branches would have gotten hit too.

@readycool9600 Год назад

That’s a definite lightning strike. We had a huge oak in our front yard that lightning hit and it looked just like that. It splintered and blew limbs and bark everywhere. I was shocked at the damage.

@valeriekoy Год назад

I think it was lightning that hit the big tree and not a tornado. The trees were already stressed from the ice storm in early February. Our house across from Yee Yee Farm has lost many a tree from the lightning strikes. The trees exploded like that. We had to put lightning rods on our house and windmill to protect them from lightning strikes.

@Set-Apart-By-Grace Год назад

I look at some of those wood pieces and see art! Hope you can save some of them! Maverick is a precious little guy! Yes, it does look like something hit that tree to scatter it so far! Too bad you didn't have a camera up! God bless you all!

When we lived in TX we always took family pictures in the Bluebonnets. They are so so beautiful. We do have some on Okla but not like TX. 🥰

@retiredandsassy Год назад

I live in Jarrell so very familiar with the area being a tornado magnet. Someone else mentioned getting someone to come out and survey the damage to get it recorded. My friend survived an F5 tornado, her 2 story house was leveled. Playing cards were embedded the 2x4s yet bibles and angel pictures were untouched.

@masonheeringa Год назад

That definitely looks like lightning. The tree literally exploded. My dad saw something similar to a cottonwood tree. He found large splinters hundreds of yards away.

@graciegolden2290 Год назад

Like what your shirt says, Amber. What a beautiful bluebonnet field, Granger. Mountain laurel has a wonderful aroma too. God bless and keep you all. Weather warfare going on, and it's no joke. Lightning strike? I was standing at my front door (open) just enjoying a June thunderstorm years ago and witnessed lightning strike a big tree at the front of our property. As a child, I was captivated by June thunderstorms. I would even sneak out and go sit under a bush. Glad I did not sit under a big tree.

@harmytab9520 Год назад

That looks very much like lightning damage to me. We had lightning hit a hemlock tree in the south side of our Indiana farms yard. They found parts of the tree in multiple directions, even on the opposite side of buildings. So thankful you are all safe.

@catH727 Год назад

Having lived in Xenia Ohio many years, if you look past the big tree as you walked towards the fence, the ground looked like a path if you stand by the tree. You can see where it scoured the ground a path. There was definitely something come through. I don’t know definitions, but that tree exploded.

@lavernfoy4591 Год назад

@mariposavioleta9007 Год назад

It doesn't look like from a tornado but super high winds. If tornado the trees would have twisted branch damage rather than looking so clean like a saw cut it. I took extensive tornado training in school as well as otherwise and have met with professionals after our town got hit. They were also explaining the same stuff to those wondering about it when they came to do the storm damage investigation for rating. Super high winds like from a downburst can do that without it being a tornado.

@lizmusquiz221 Год назад

Back in my construction days, I was working late running a large loader for a pipe contractor. I was waiting for a delivery in a old 74 Chysler Newport, land yacht, when a super thunderstorm started brewing. Summer in Fl can be wild. In a few minutes, the sky went dark, and it sounded like a train coming. Then, the front of that old Chysler began to lift up. Just as it was about 2 feet off the ground, and I thought it was going to flip me, it stopped, and the front of the car hit the ground. But then I heard that train sound again. This time, I watched a 20ft semi trailer loaded just tools lift straight up about 3ft, then fall to its side and then be pushed right through the fence. Some thought I was seeing things. But when we looked at the fence posts, they were bend high up. Which meant that trailer was in the air when it went through the fence. God showed me his power that night. 👍🙏👍
