It depends on how wet the tree is. If the bark is pretty soaked, the current will flow down the tree's outer bark, and you'll lose a strip as you pointed out. It's when the tree is relatively dry, like at the start of a storm, the current heads for the inner bark where the sap is and.. boom.%%
Amazing .
I had a big boundary oak that got hit by lightening;
amazing, it just knocked about 4 inches of bark\ long strip. Usually the trees explode because the sap boils in an instant![]()

If it was a White Oak.... he sold the wood to the company in TN that makes the barrels for Jack. Who owns them now? Fortune Brands, or Brown-Foreman?%%
Amazing answer, + shocking
Amazed that tree did not die. It also had no USDA insurance.
I got some tract timber estimates once;
+ asked if one of them minded cutting a treeto near my home[ free];
the gentleman cranked up his chainsaw\ i saw that pro take that tree down with no damage to my home or himself.=free .

They pay extra if it was struck by lightening. Can't be near the house though. One nail driven in that tree 70 years ago will shut down the whole operation when the $40,000 saw blade looses all its teeth hitting that nail. I think they figured that out now though... it's called a magnetometer. Lots of false alarms these days however. But... Using an MRI to scan the logs has been proven too expensive though. Just up the price by $2 bottle and eat the saw blades.%%
