Hard to tell in the various shots how much eruption has already taken place, but at least some of the lightning might be generated by the volcano itself. Static electricity from the erupting particles causes lightning, which is known as volcanic lightning or a dirty thunderstorm.

Those both sound like really good names for drinks.

The volcano is very likely causing the thunderstorm. Thunderstorms develop when convective activity pushes hot, moist air to high altitude. The high heat from the volcano very likely induces the convective flow necessary to generate the storm.

I'm sorry but "Mount Fuego". Pretty low-effort name. Do they also have a Lago de Agua? Just sayin.

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 56 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Meanwhile in the UK...

"White Cliffs"

"Green Park"

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Or the entire state of Vermont.

Literally Verde Monte

The green mountain state.

New York, New Hampshire...

Creativity in names has never been a strong point

Space

Yea there's an unimaginable amount of shit out there, but between it all? So much space for activities

At least we don't usually do just numbers. In Japan I've been to a tourist attraction lake named 12. It's also only about 90 minutes from 13.

[–] DatNSFW@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 1 year ago

Not that I know of, but we do have another volcano named Agua :) Really though, Guate has plenty of unique and wonderfully cultured names - some are just a wee bit simpler than others.

Right?

How could primitive humans draw any other conclusion than God from that kind of spectacle!?

We have come so far.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah and if they saw that, they'd immediately think "the gods are pissed, we must have angered them by something we did."

[–] neo@lemy.lol 13 points 1 year ago

Fear not! For God has told me what angered him and how we can be forgiven!

Imagine seeing this in ancient times. I'd think the world is ending.

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ancient times? If I had stepped out and seen that this morning shit would be shat.

I mean, someone has to be the first person to watch the beginning of the end of the world, right? My lizard brain would have instantly decided I was the lucky person.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Me too, but mainly because there's no active volcanoes near me

We did have a massive dry-season lighting storm out of nowhere once which sparked a wall of fire surrounding my city, burning over 8000 square km and blotting out the sun.

In 2020.

Definitely felt like the end of the world.

Also set up one of the greatest reddit exchanges I've ever seen

Commenter 1: these fires were sparked by 10,000 lightning strikes over the course of a day during hot, dry weather

Commenter 2: PG&E [our electric utility, known for both high prices and sparking wildfires] execs breathing a sigh of relief for this one

Commenter 3: I dunno, pretty suspicious. Has anyone ever seen PG&E execs and 10,000 lightning strikes in the same room?

Commenter 4: one can dream

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

That's awesome.

The PG&E comments, not the earth scorched by lightning.

Damn, that wizard is mad as fuck. What did the peasants do this time?

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

They brought Kim Kardashian as their virgin sacrifice.

It's like when you go to the toilet but then the water splashes back in.

It's like that.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's one of the most metal things I've ever seen.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you expect that happens if a volcano throws dust into charged clouds?

[–] neo@lemy.lol 19 points 1 year ago

You still need a volcano and charged clouds. So you probably don't see that everyday.

Imagin seeing that stuff a couple hundred years ago, without any knowledge about the mechanics behind it. Wild!

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I can fully understand thinking gods angry with me for something I was doing if I saw that shit.

"It is recommended to listen to platinum rock group Disaster Area from the safe distance of 37 miles away, in a well-built concrete bunker"

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of the opening for this song: https://youtu.be/ePrAZh-nQXg

[–] elxeno@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

This part does look like a concert
