The blast blew a chunk of tree inside the porch and it stuck in the sheetrock.
Those powerlines to the house were down as well.

Looks like the lightning hit the tree and caused the water in it to flash boil, making an improvised explosive

Wow that's awesome. Totally split the tree. If there was any squirrel or bird nests in there, they're not there anymore.

Betcha that tree was asking for it. Probably had on a tight bathrobe.

Poor tree. It really is a sight when lightening hits a live oak or something like that.
