A loud explosion heard in the North Judson area Monday was caused by lightning striking a tree.
Town Marshal John Ramos says it happened in the 4700 block of State Road 10. “It was actually really impressive,” he told the town council Monday night. “There was literally chunks of wood that were spewn almost 100 yards away from the tree itself. So it was considerable.”
He said the tree was completely destroyed, blowing the foundation out of a nearby garage in the process. However, no one was injured.
