LIGHTNING STRIKES!!

Hmmm.....I'm thankful it wasn't the house but not sure what kind of karma this is!?!?! WOW!! Last weekend we had a Texas sized thunderstorm (which really isn't that unusual) that sent a BIG bolt of lightning & struck our palm tree or trees. (not to mention the poor trees were already looking terrible from the FREEZES we had this winter) It scared us half to death as we were all standing by the windows directly in front of the trees! EEP!!

Dad....Mom....here are the pictures--what do you think? The one on the left literally had the top blown off!! You can see the top sort of hanging on the side off to the right of the tree trunk.

We aren't sure about the tree on the left?? There is a "new" leaf...errrr frond...that looks not so good there in the middle left of the top. Do you think it got hit too??

YIKES!! Glad we weren't outside in the rain (as we McCoys have been known to do) doing yardwork this time!!!
