Lighting Strikes Tree Near Davis

An El Macero couple says Monday night’s lightning split a large tree in their front yard.

Chris Ferragamo and his wife, Tracy, say they were inside and watching the rain when they heard a “huge clap.”

“Our neighbors texted us and said that they saw our tree get hit by lightning,” Tracy Ferragamo said.

The lightning had split the tree between its two major limbs. The Ferragamos had gone out to see what had happened when the tree was still relatively intact.
