A man in California recently captured the moment a large pine tree was struck by lightning.
Michael Bogan got the video of the tree on fire near Big Bear Airport immediately after it was struck.
The tree, believed to be at least 200 years old, split in half at the trunk as it burned.
The San Bernardino National Forest said firefighters visited the scene Sunday (August 1st) to cut down what was left of the tree.
Watched an incredible scene last night @SanBernardinoNF — Jeffery pine split in two by lightning strike & trunk fire. Thanks to @R5_Fire_News folks for keeping it from spreading! #CAfire pic.twitter.com/1lgHsP56PA
