Lightning technically isn't striking the cloud, it's the cloud itself that produces enormous amounts of electricity due to louds of dust particles. - MrBurd

edit: Original thread.

Thanks for the upvotes guise :)!

[–]daren_sf 17 points18 points ago

It's actually static from the particles, no?

[–]bsolidgold 15 points16 points ago

Exactly. The volcanic ash is very conductive and creates enormous amounts of static electricity, as you can see :)

[–]calicojones 10 points11 points ago

..does this only occur in Mordor?

[–]bsolidgold 6 points7 points ago

...and hell. Yes.

[–]Bit_Chewy 0 points1 point ago

Aww Hell no.

Actually the plumage from the volcano causes the lightning. Still an awesome photo though.

[–]bsolidgold 2 points3 points ago

Yep. Static electricity created by the volcanic ash cloud.
