Weston Road trees aren’t the only ones getting hit

In response to the July 30 Lincoln Squirrel article about trees on Weston Road that have been hit by lightning recently, Lincoln resident Alaric Naiman noted that Farrarpond.org’s blog contains some excellent photos of another tall tree that was struck in 2012 and eventually toppled into the street. The tongue-in-cheek title of the September 2012 blog post was “Weeding by Thor.”
