When lightning struck a flagpole and created this pattern
This picture might leave the viewer confused about how a lush grassy field appears drought-stricken. It turns out lightning struck a flagpole at a golf course, resulting in this pattern looking like a tree branching out in all directions.

Lightning is a form of current, which means it is a stream of flowing electrons that easily attract tall objects that conduct electricity; in this case, it happened to be the flagpole at the golf course. After the strike, as the electrons propagated into the ground, they damaged the grass on their way, creating these beautiful but eerie patterns.
