"A security camera outside of Wautoma High School in Wautoma, Wis., captured the moment a bolt of lightning struck a tree.
School officials said the lightning strike occurred around 8:25 a.m. Thursday as students were preparing to take the ACT Aspire test."
God says: no standardized testing.

Who the fuck arranges a test for 8.25am???

This is why you don't hide under a tree during a rainstorm. You run a serpentine pattern in a field so the lighting has to work for it.

Are u sure it was God? Because that tree looked way healthy compared to the other ones near it.

That's awesome. Thor is now on earth to protect us.

Direct connection to groundwater thru a strong taproot, paired with plenty of moisture in the sap flowing through it is likely the cause.

it was asking for it - just standing there all proud and green

That's how to unstuck an evergreen

It's an evergreen. Which means its has most moisture? Which means its best conductor? Which is why IT was hit? And not some other one?
Trollero
And that is why it is a bad idea to take cover under a tree during a thunder storm
pollywog73
that lightning bolt did a lot more than three damage...
TotallySaneScientist
Must have been a Shouraishi in that tree.
gtferrari
The electrical current passing through the tree flash boiled to moisture and its rapid expansion caused the tree to explode

To smote or not to smote, that is the question.

I mean, Jesus himself cursed a fig tree in the bible so it's not off brand.
ZebraCockSandwich
Everyone knows that fig trees are sinners. do your research. Jesus aint say nothin about Pines. This was wrongful assult.

I know from experience that was loud and shit, I'm sure several students needed a change of pants before their ACT.

Had a tree hit by lightning about 50 ft from our house. Went out to look after the storm; the bark had been blown off the tree. [1/2]

The sap, between bark and wood, conducts electricity. Especially at a few hundred thousand volts. [2/2]

I like towns where nothing happens. We just don’t get enough of that.

There's a direct correlation between how "stolen Native American land" a Wi town's name sounds and how boring the town is.
SoupCanMan
Milwaukee is the largest city in the state, and if you tell me it is boring, you just be on some good drugs. Not a direct correlation. >

Just casual<
DouglasPouchOfHolding
Not necessarily boring. Lots of people get shot and there's a sex trafficking ring there. Also the Klement's Racing Sausages.
