Brian "Sam" McCarthy shows off the tree on his Old Station Road, Ohakune property after lightning struck it on Saturday evening, 13 June. The lightning travelled down the tree, shedding its bark, and arced to a neighbouring tree to do the same thing to earth. Sam's phone lines melted and they lost power, plus a couple of heart beats, through the lighting storm which was experienced around Ohakune.
