This oak tree just off the footpath through the grounds of the Warwick University site, has been struck by lightning in the last few days, and split into three. The area had been cordoned off with marker tape, and work had started to clear the debris away. The tree fell just touching a workshop block, but appeared luckily to have done no damage.
