Not a good experience.
A group of friends and I went to Germany two years ago. One afternoon, we went to a lake to swim and ended ip strolling back to the tent through the forest. It was quite dark and it was raining. Suddenly there was a flash of light and an enormous tree right in front of us shook violently and started to fall in our direction. We turned and fled in absolute panic. It was a narrow escape. My friend Maria had dropped her bag. When we went back to find it, it was squashed flat underneath the tree trunk. but fortunately we could to save it.
