Our crew removing a large  Pin Oak struck by lightning in Aliquippa, Pa.  At times these types of removals can be very dangerous! Luckily this was not one of them.  The lightning strike although bad making it a hazard to leave standing did not blow it apart bad enough to render it unstable for normal take-down procedures!
