re: Lightning hit one of my trees last week...

Liberty Mutual is not as understanding when it comes to tree damage caused by lightning. I had 1 palm get struck a couple of months ago and it showed signs of it being dead immediately. A second palm tree about 20 feet away started to show signs a couple of weeks later. I spoke to Liberty Mutual and they only gave me $500 to remove the trees. That's the max they give for that. So...I'm out of pocket on the rest of it. Ironically, I have a crew here at the house removing these trees as I type this.
