My father in law has a farm in Ms. Numerous trees have been struck by lightning. It might take some time, but the tree is done.

Op, I'd give it 1-12 years to see if any re-growth starts. You can update then and I'll make the appropriate payouts if needed.

If there's one thing I'm not, its a dirty rotten welsher.

I was standing five feet from an oak tree a little bigger than that in my front yard when lightning struck it. I was thrown about 20 feet. I made it. The tree did not.


We know. You told that story on page one when this thread started a couple of years ago.

Holy crap! I'm getting old and kind of losing my bearings. I really think dementia might be creeping up on me.

If you are young, appreciate it, old age ain't fun.

I have done the exact same thing….i even used almost identical wording and had no recollection of telling the story before.

You know, the sad thing is that I'm in incredible physical shape. At 70 yo I would still look good in a football uniform, but I'm quite sure I would forget the playcall as soon as I left the huddle.
