    Oaks being hit by lightning so often is part of the reason they were sacred to Zeus.

    Apparently oaks susceptibility to lightening is about water content and height. https://christiananswers.net/kids/lightningtrees.html

    A small part of Virginia extends farther west than any part of West Virginia, but a much bigger part of Virginia extends farther East than any part of West Virginia.
