Rosaire Dumond wouldn’t lie to you. It was one mean bolt of lightning that zapped the big maple tree in his backyard last week. Fire seemed to shoot from the sky. It shook the earth, rattled windows and sent bark flying everywhere.
Not buying it? Well then behold the photographic evidence, an image shot by helicopter pilot Pat Giarrizzo from a quarter-mile away.
“There were a lot of strikes during that storm,” Giarrizzo said. “But that one was really close. It shook the glass.”
