Description
Egmont Key is a small island at the mouth of Tampa Bay on Florida's west coast. Years of erosion and salt water intrusion have killed many of the trees on the island. In addition the occasional wildfire strikes. This is the aftermath of one such fire. The source of this fire is not clear. The rangers had started a "prescribed burn" (fire helps clear the brush and is actually good for future growth), but a thunderstorm in the area may have brought some lightning strikes.
Lightning is nature’s way of keeping the forests clean and healthy.
