#71 Lightning Struck Tree, Muir Grove
This tree is missing its bole above about 140 feet. Its broken off with no visible burn damage on the top so i am guessing lightning damage when it was too wet to burn. It has a very similar configuration to the broken topped first tree in the grove in addition to almost the same volume numbers. I wish i had been around to see both of these trees before they were topped.
