I saw a plants root crack an asphalt road. Plants roots are crazy strong. What is the craziest damage you ever saw plants cause? Pipes? Cables? ? ?

My neighbors house literally exploded because of tree in his front yard.

There was a big storm and a lightning strike hit the tree whose roots were around the gas line. The gas line exploded into the house and blew out all the windows on the first floor and dealt catastrophic damage besides. No one was seriously hurt miraculously but it was loud enough that I legitimately thought a plane had crashed.

    This sounds too crazy to be true lol. Tree (root connection + lightningstrike) exploding an entire house.
