Not much left of three of them to cut John ,the strike on one tree went down in a corkscrew like pattern and blew a hole in the ground next to the tree .
Oddly all trees were red stringy that were hit .

Got some more photos just a pain to post from the phone , the ridgeline has been hit many times over the years by the look of it there a heaps of older strikes from previous years .
Some big red box trees blown to smithereens in the area , there is a lot of quartz in the area and lower down there is signs of mining from years ago .
One big takeout from what I seen is never ever use a tree for protection in a thunderstorm.
I cant understand what 'process' would to harden the timber. If anything you might get drier wood as the moisture is flashed off by the zilluions of volts, but if it does not carburize, then I would think it would cut like dry timber. Can't say I have ever cut a lightning affected tree though, so just my opinion. If its black and charred, then yes, the carbon will knock the chain around unless its a carbide tipped chain, but even those wont last forever - I have one and reckon I got 5 times the chain life out of it compared to a standard chain.

Don't think it really matters mate
"During a storm, colliding particles of rain, ice, or snow inside storm clouds increase the imbalance between storm clouds and the ground, and often negatively charge the lower reaches of storm clouds. Objects on the ground, like steeples, trees, and the Earth itself, become positively charged—creating an imbalance that nature seeks to remedy by passing current between the two charges."
