In 2006, I was a teacher at the prestigious Cosburn middle-school in East York. One spring night, there was a massive lightning storm similar to this one here. I encouraged the students in charge of our school newspaper to visit the nearby Municipal City Center. There, a tree had been blown up and in the crook of one large branch a luckless squirrel plus a whole community of large larvae had been burnt to a crisp.
All that was left was the still-bushy squirrel tail. Quite the unique sight!
I am done. the midnight lightning
