A lightning strike? A hard wind? What snapped this tree and twisted it around?

This was during a 2018 hike along the Florida Trail in the Ocala National Forest.
Parked at the hiker-friendly 88 Store in the forest. There’s access to the Florida Trail from the store

You can learn more about and plan your own hike in the Ocala National Forest by clicking here:

The 88 Store is rather below the radar.
However, there is a Facebook page:
