I had actually witnessed similar a few years back but did not get it on vid of a bolt hitting a white pine and taking out chunks the size of 2x4's and scattering them 50+ yds at a golf course.
Ended up rather isolated, And when that happens, I see nothing here and in most cases i get 7-10'd anyways, Precip this summer has been pretty scattered and hard to come by, Glad we irrigate the garden or that would be a disaster too.
The trail system in Maine is quite expansive, Seen a few moose in the winter, But the deer yard up when its cold so seeing 10-20 on the trail is pretty common and can be dangerous.
