2023-10-16 01:07:00@Peaceonearth66 @wonderofscience From what I gather, it's when the clouds send negative charges down to ground level, and then the lightning will reconnect to the positive charges in the sky.. Bassicly just backflow. pic.twitter.com/gwTEQWbcnN

2023-10-16 06:39:11@wonderofscience Whoa!! That was crazy!! ⚡️ The only other time I’ve seen so much lightning at a time is at the Lightning Capital of the World in Venezuela. twitter.com/cool_blue_dot/…
2023-10-16 01:09:52Journey to north-western Venezuela, where the sky turns into a canvas for otherworldly lightning. In this magical place, bright streaks of light appear without a hint of thunder. The horizon lights up with a continuous shower of sparks, like a scene from an incredible movie. Witness the Catatumbo Lightning, also called the Beacon of Maracaibo. Lake Maracaibo, located in Venezuela, is famous for its unique and intense lightning displays known as the Catatumbo lightning. Here are some interesting facts about this phenomenon…

2023-10-16 12:55:41@wonderofscience It looks like the lightning is coming out of the ground
2023-10-16 12:29:19@SudoKidTV @wonderofscience Yes that's why it's called *ground to cloud*
2023-10-16 15:01:48@wonderofscience Wow, I've never seen or heard of it do that before.
2023-10-16 12:39:41@wonderofscience I all ways thought the earth was the negative pole and the clouds were the positive pole, so the lightning was falling down.
2023-10-16 11:19:28@wonderofscience What the what?!?! Another reason not to live in Kansas.

2023-10-16 01:15:21@wonderofscience You just blew my mind. I didn’t know this phenomena was even possible.

2023-09-01 01:52:00@Rainmaker1973 The gases and clouds from the volcano are so powerfully ionized in one polarity that they attract ionization of opposite polarity from above creating mesmerizing light shows.
2023-09-01 11:59:00Witnessing the raw power of nature—volcanic lightning! 🌋⚡ The electrifying spectacle when ash, rocks, and gases collide in the fiery chaos of a volcano eruption. Nature's fireworks at their most mesmerizing! Here’s a very simple explanation of why it happens… 1. Volcanoes are extremely hot and explode, sending out ash, rocks, and gases during eruptions. 2. As these materials shoot out of a volcano, they rub against each other, generating electric charges, similar to when you rub your hands to make static electricity. 3. These charges build up until they cause lightning, just like the lightning you see in thunderstorms. 4. When lightning appears during a volcanic eruption, it's because the materials ejected from the volcano collide and create sparks, resulting in an explosive display. 🎇
2023-08-19 01:03:29This isn't an optical illusion! The Acatenango Volcano in Guatemala does produce volcanic lightning. ⚡️🌋 pic.twitter.com/yZu0vvYOjx
2023-08-18 23:45:24@accuweather The video is actually Volcán de Agua... And not Acatenango. twitter.com/ScottDuncanWX/…
