When Lightning Strikes a Tree

We have all heard horror stories about people getting struck by lightning, yet an arborist can confirm that trees are more frequently the targets during a storm. Since trees contain a high level of moisture and water is a better conductor than air, unprotected trees are quickly and severely damaged or destroyed when lightning strikes. The electricity from lightning swells through the water in the trunk of a tree causing it to become overheated and explode, blasting the bark and often the entire trunk. The results can be devastating.

Safely Factors to Protect a Tree from Storm Damage

Trees in close proximity to your home or business should be assessed for their susceptibility to lightning strikes. Several important factors are considered in order to safely protect a tree from storm damage, including the species of the tree, its height and how close it is to any building or structure. The qualified arborists at Timberline Expert Tree Service Inc are available to determine the best protection for your property in the Johns Creek area.
