I have no idea what made this huge trench in this old tree but it has always fascinated me.

    This looks like a tree near our first house here in MD, which got struck by lightening as the kids were heading for the bus stop. Could the gouge be lightning-related? Is there a “divot” nearby where the grass may have exploded outward? Looked this healed over within a couple of years… though the divot was gone.
