Lightning strikes tree near Caylee Anthony memorial site
Hours after Casey Anthony learned on Thursday that she will leave jail next week, lightning apparently struck a tree next to a makeshift memorial in honor of her slain daughter, Â Caylee.
No one saw lightning strike the pine tree on Suburban Drive in Orange County, Florida, where teddy bears and flowers mark the spot where 2-year-old Caylee's remains were found on December 11, 2008.
But long, diagonal strips of exposed wood scarred the tall pine tree, WESH reported, and bits of bark lay scattered across the road.
"It could be a sign from the angels that they aren't happy with what's happened," a visitor to the site told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper. "The rain, the lightning, the storm - it's the heavens indicating they aren't happy."
There are more lightning strikes in Florida per square mile than in any other state, according to weather.com.
A Pinellas County jury acquitted Anthony, 24, of murder and manslaughter charges Tuesday in the death of her daughter. The same jury convicted her of four charges of obstruction of justice for lying to police during the search for Caylee.
Judge Belvin Perry sentenced Anthony to four years in jail -Â one year for each of her four convictions - but with credit for nearly three years already served and good behavior, her release date was set for Wednesday, July 13, a court spokeswoman said.

I don't understand how someone can drive all the from New York to Florida to stand in front of someone's house. Honestly, do they not have a job or a life?
That is their job. To stand in front of houses
Probably, maybe I should quit my day job then?
So what willit mean if it's ssunny tomorrow? Or will lightening be all day, every day? What a useless story. Like it or not, the DA didn't prove their case. They couldn't even prove the kid was murdered.
You know, this is central Florida during the rainy season. Lighting strikes here more often than nearly any other part of the world.
Agree.... FLORIDA "IS NOT ALL SUNSHINE".. Been there / Lived There / SURVIVED Hurricanes...
Maybe Nancy Grace went in anger and chewed the bark off the tree.....
Should be under the editorial section
A coincidence brings out all sorts of nonsense. "[T]he angels...aren't happy"–oh my left eyeball....
Dancing in the rain
I'll dance with ya babe!
Jeez, what'd the tree do to tick God off?
This is nonsense.
I did feel really good watching EVEYONE save one or two lawyers on Fox, be SOOOOOO WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING.
Cnn pretty much reports anything nowadays. Is this really top news?
Is this story for real? Come on, now. Now, you're really, really reaching. What if it starts to rain? Hey, I'm all for people - ON A PERSONAL LEVEL - reading into natural events and trying to attach them to their lives, but to write a "news story" about it? Please, spare me. Spare us!
Is this The Globe tabloid? I thought I was looking at CNN.
The invisible spigetti monster will get you if you be bad. Oh, Im so scared.
I'll retype this Without the sticky keys...
This IS newS in FLORDIA– Trust me, I've lived there; and through 5 Hurricanes... Lightening IS taken seriously...
I have since Moved to TEXAS )Where the DEATH Penalty is also taken seriously)...
... In TX, we need RAIN- so when IT gets here– "the WEATHER" will Also be "in the News"...
... @ Least it Gives Writers a JOB!!! ..... Okay, coffee time!
Are you kidding me? This isn't news, CNN. C'mon!
