After the show I went back to Liberty Ave to look more closely. God, one of the beautiful old oaks along the sidewalk bordering the park at Powderhouse must have taken a direct lightning hit. It was the giant sidewalk oak closest to the intersection of Liberty and B'way. By some strange miracle, it landed across Liberty and into someone's driveway, and no houses were hit. The city is still there cleaning it up.... so sorry to see that tree go.

When I first posted this thread, I hadn't been out front yet. Seems we're the only house on Bay State Ave with a major tree branch in the front yard. This one is a dead and blackened gnarled branch of 12-feet or so. There are no dead trees in a 1000-foot radius of here (well, until tonight), so I don't know how we got this. But tiny mushrooms sprouted upon the branch between the time when I left for the show and when I came back. I'd saw it up for firewood if I had a saw, and a fireplace.

Mushrooms up for grabs...

Feh.
