It ' s all super crooked . I wrote in Bernie , for what it ' s worth . <| sep |> You seem to be looking for paranormal . Unfortunately , I don ' t have anything like that , but I do have a story . When I was in scouts , we took a trip to Algonquin National Park . They have these storms that are super intense and super small hurricane force over a mile or two area if that . I was sleeping at night and woke up to thunder and lightning . I ' m in this flimsy little tent and the rain is POURING like crazy . Anyways , after the initial shock of the lightning that woke me up , I tried going back to sleep . After a few minutes , lightning struck nearby . I don ' t mean within a half mile , I mean within yards of my tent . It was so fucking loud , and I was SURE I heard an explosion . I was wide awake for another hour or more before the storm passed and I could finally sleep again . The next morning I woke up and looked around outside . I found the spot the lightning struck I knew that was the spot because all that was there was the stump of a freshly destroyed tree . It was no more than 10 yards from my tent . The explosion I heard the night before was the tree turning to splinters from the lightning strike .
