This oak, which is said to be around 350 years old, has kept track of the forces of nature! It was struck down in 1994. Examined in 2004 by an expert, it does not seem to present any particular fragility.
Lightning can split a tree from the bottom up and usually it opens a doorway for parasitic fungi. Here, we surprisingly see a long white trail that it left as it passed along the trunk.
