Description
A lightning strike during a summer monsoon season thunderstorm silhouettes a giant saguaro cactus and other desert plants in the Tucson Mountains west of Tucson, Arizona.
Lightning is one of the leading causes of mortality among the saguaro cactus. A lightning strike will cause a steam explosion from within the watery tissues of the saguaro, destroying the upper part of the plant, and sometimes the entire plant. And yet, sometimes the cactus will survive for many years; sprouting arms where the stem has been truncated to show the immense power of life in this harsh desert environment.
