This site's exposition

the lightning continued flashing through it

on Exodus 9:24-26

This is the third division in three chapters, after 8:22 and 9:4, and here it is drawn on the map. The hail falls on all Egypt and none of it in Goshen.

stripped every tree

Those who ignored the warning of verse 19 lose what they left in the field, people and animals alike. John Gill, on verse 24, cites Aben Ezra, who called the fire within the hail a miracle within a miracle.
