Looks like you have next winters wood! Wish we could get some rain, havn't had any to speak of since April. (SW Missouri desert)
 
It ain't split at all. Buit the bark and in some places about two-three inches of tree blew out. Got pretty good size chunks a hundred feet away.

That's a poplar tree, aka hybred weed. Must be 60 years old, almost impossible to kill one of those...but if it was a black walnut or oak, I'd be worried!!

Got 1/4" this afternoon, and it looks like a pretty good slug about thirty miles west of here headed for us.
 
Reminds me of when I was a kid. We had a huge cottonwood that stood out in the middle of a field in a fencerow. It would get struck about every year, doing slight damage. Finally one year it knocked out a strip about 18" wide and 6"-8" deep from top to bottom, that was the end of that tree.
 
I don't friggin believe this! Nice line of rain and moisture coming our way an hour ago. Then there's almost nothing. Just plugged in NWS radar- and the line started dying up in York County and is seperating and going to either side of us! There's rain to the northeast, and rain to the southwest. And we're getting a sprinkle. Shoulda left the truck windows down...
 
That must be a different variety Poplar than what we have. Most of the poplars in our area are called "tulip" poplars, because in the spring they have large blooms that look like (what else) tulips. Honeybees love 'em. But the bark looks different on that one.
 
Good chance it'll live over it. I have a mighty oak here in the yard that has lightning stripes all over it. Whoever sez that lightning never strikes twice in the same place is uninformed.
