My sister who lives below my mom and dad said that a couple months ago she heard a load boom, but never identified what it was. I was over at my mom and dad's last Wed picking up the girls and discovered this in their backyard. I want y'alls opinion on it, first does it look like a lightning strike victim? The bark is curled from the meat of the tree. And whats the life expectancy from here. It's still full of foliage. I worry about it falling and causing major property loss or catastrophic loss. Told my mom and dad we need to get it down and to turn it into their homeowners insurance. Insurance may not want to pay, but a removal is far cheaper than rebuilding a home.
