I've played enough video games to understand that a boss is gonna spawn after this.
Correct
❤
absolutely 👍
“You *dare* challenge me?”
Possibly chitulu I think he's called 😂😂
2 forces of nature coming together like this is very fascinating
I somehow expected the dust to ignite.
The height and volcanic materials attract the lightning
@@WeightlessBallast that would be a real treat to see
I wonder what it would be like seeing a tornado but then having an earthquake happen at the same time
Power of Allah
It happens because the cloud dust are high in static charges and lightning is attracted to that and it hits the volcano because it's the closest thing to the charged particles and in needs to be grounded. It happens at a right place in a right time.
It's so amazing that it happens like that. I can only imagine how ancient peoples must have felt witnessing this erupting volcano also come alive with lightning all around it. No wonder they assigned divine causes to it, how else could you explain such an awe-inspiring sight?
@@BartSimpson23Feb😐😐😐
Nice thanks
@@BartSimpson23Feb Speak for yourself.
@@BartSimpson23Feb I do
Looks like Zeus is still mad at Hades.
Nah, he's just keeping Typhon in check, that's all.
Fortnite Reference?
@@Existential_Tempestno Greek mythology references lol

True 💀
Thanks for posting this. Really liked that you included the slow motion version, too. 😊
Everyone cheers while I would be like “nope”
I suddenly remembered something I really must doing somewhere else.
Lol
Like fr.
real reaction 😂
Wow. Force meets force. Nature in the raw. Spectacular catch, 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
It's breathtaking !
We are just mortals.
🇬🇹🤝🏻🇬🇧
Wow! That's really stunning! 😮
More like "shocking" 😂
....okay I'll see myself out
What a strange thing to see?I’ve never seen a thing in nature like this,before?You wouldn’t want to be near that mountain 🏔️ top,that’s for sure!
@@bettyleeist It's a volcano actually. Volcanoes have lava inside and they smoke ash clouds and erupt. Mountains are very big and they have a pointy thing on top and it has a lot of snow.
Makes sense - a lot of iron in the magma, giving a clear path for the lightning.
No wonder it's called Volcan del Fuego
not to mention all the friction of the tiny dust particles passing by each other.
Among other things
That's quite wrong. Pyroclastic clouds generate their own lightning through massive friction, just like clouds do.
In this case, the negative charges in the ash cloud connected to the positive charges in the clouds above, which made it branch upwards instead of usual downwards, that's a positive lightning, it's a lot louder and powerful, and lasts longer.
@@SirKolass
Thank you.
About time that a genius showed up.
Pyroclastic indeed, my friend. ⚔️
I love the cows at the end.
Love it!! 🤣
LMAO
those were actually dinosaurs
Je bło yyy ⤵️ 🗻
😂😂
Volcano: **erupts**
Zeus: stfu
well who wouldn't make a racket if you were Typhon and had a literal mountain above your own person
🌋⚡NATURE FACT: The lightning strike was actually caused by a rad dude shredding on an electric guitar🎸 at the volcano's base.
And his name is Eddie Van Halen!
with the pick of destiny
Guitar said, WeeeeeeeeWaaaaaooow
Zeus the Guitar Lord --Spongebob
Like an Iron Maiden album cover
:-D
F….k yeah!!!!!!!!!!
No
Or Old School Metallica.
No not really. Heavy Metal yes, Iron Maiden not so much. For instance Ram it Down cover by Priest is way closer to this than any Maiden album
the lightning is caused by the volcano not the other way around
Sometimes, but not in this case
@@bonbonvegabon while the storm might be coincidental, the volcano is quite clearly the source of that strike. The initial forking pattern goes upwards from the plume.
@@himselfeI love youtube scientist
no it was Jesus
@@Pr0toPoTaT0earth is positive charged and the sky negative. Electricity flows from positive to negative. The light travels so fast our eyes perceive it coming from the sky. This was taught in school.
If you do .25 speed @ 0:43 you can see the individual lightning frames. pretty rad
Wow. That was pretty awesome ngl.
😮
Pretty fantastic sight to behold
Oh my gosh, that was so bright, like on a screen. But can’t imagine seeing it in real life.
Guy that goes “Yeeee” had already foreseen what will happen.
I believe that is how Thor's hammer was made.
I was thinking Roman gods
Jupiter and Vulcan
0:10 🌋⚡
That was so cool that I paused the video at the beginning, only to realize I didn’t have to if I kept watching it to the end… thank you for the slow mo.
Fascinating footage 🌋⚡ Great video 👍👍
Those we won't know the vocanic lightning (scoure: Wikipedia)
=>Volcanic lightning is an electrical discharge in the atmosphere caused by a volcanic eruption, rather than from a typical lightning storm. Volcanic eruptions that produce lightning may be colloquially called dirty lightning storms, but the term technically refers only to ash-filled clouds that interact with weather systems. contains ice. Volcanic lightning can occur completely independently of any meteorological interaction.
That is so metal
I dont know why i got chills watching this and my eyes teared up
🙏🏽
Imagine being there and feeling it
What this shows, is the density of the material in the cloud. It looks like a cloud but it is actually pulverized solid material. That cloud became the tallest stucture relaitve to the ground around it. This drew the lightning to it. What a fantastic piece of video. The person recording it should be very proud to have captured a once in a lifetime video.
The cloud shape like a heart was given life by the lightning strike. Pretty awesome.
Imagine people's reaction to this thousands of years ago
Love the demonic dinosaurs at the end 😂
What an unbelievable sight.
And it was filmed in portrait mode for all of history to see... great.
You can look at it in portrait mode, too, if you just pause it and scroll the time and swipe up as you're doing it, and it will cut it into portraits.
@@Itsmeagain828 I'm lamenting that this is such an incredible moment, instead of having a full screen video for the future to witness, it will forever be formatted for a mobile phone.
That’s not lightning striking a volcano. That’s a volcanos lightning striking the clouds.
Still, it’s a cool thing to see
This is the true power of mother nature . Absolutely astonishing and humbling.
Thats the most incredible thing. How rare is this!? What are the actual odds of lightning striking and a volcano erupting at the same time. Its like a once in 100 lifetimes event. Maybe even more
Imagine being that close and feeling all that power around you
0:13 Ohhh, that is some CRISP thunder... 😍
It's actually coming FROM the volcano.
Volcanos often create lightning with all the particles they stir up making static.
location?
Guatemala
Beautiful!!!!!
a kaiju is waking up now
Call GODZILLA!!!
Rodan.
Wow that is one of the cooler things I've ever seen. Right on!
That was epic
Incredible! Thanks for sharing!
And they say lightning doesn't strike twice.....!? There was at least 8 individual flashes in that sequence! Incredible!
Weather control?
If you play the video back in slow motion, it actually looks like the lightning came OUT of the volcano, which is 100% possible. There is scientific evidence that supports that lightning can, in fact, form inside a volcano's plume.
@@AK-47ISTHEWAY I've seen footage of volcanic lightning. But it stays within the volcanic cloud. I've never seen volcanic lightning interact with the sky.
This was a cloud to ground strike that just happened to coincide with a small eruption. The volcanic cloud was not big enough to generate its own lightning. But it sure did look incredible!
So awsome!
Nature: I see you like this volcano, little humans
Nature: How would you like
Nature: LIGHTNING VOLCANO
Humans: YESSSSSSSSS
Nature: … freaks.
Nature is just incredible. Wow.
That came out of the volcano. It’s an awesome phenomenon.
Zeus is fighting Hades.
One benefit of living close to an active volcano: your house does not need a lightning arrester.
The volcano made its own lighting.
Spectacular!
Does anyone know what volcano erupted?
Beautiful 😍
Where was that?
This lightning was not caused by the eruption, but by a thunderstorm as there was lightning flashing around away from the volcano
The power of nature is impressive
This wasn't "lightning strike" from an external source; the static from the eruption causes this.
The Volcano Started The Lightning I looked at it in slow motion frame by frame amazing it when to the clouds.
Bro Zeus be battling someone in it
Volcano v Lightning ❌
Nature v Nature ❌
Hades v Zeus ✅
WOW...!!! AMAZING..!!!
Considering the delay of the sound, this was filmed at about 1,2 km of distance.
Why did it seem to stop the eruption?
Nature has the best fireworks displays.
I think it's lightning from volcanic activity, though there is a storm going on around it. The lightning bolt jolts up into the cumulonimbus (thundercloud) above it because of polarity differences.
Thor: Hold my mead...
Volcano Giant: 🤯
Lightning really said "GTF back in your room, who said you could come out?!" 😂
humans 3000 years ago: 💀
humans today: 😲
So which is hotter?
I have watched too many movies to understand that this event is something that a Super villain's doing to summon the creature that will wipe out humanity , hope the protagonist save this year .
Sauron forging the One Ring 💍
This is NOT a lightning strike at the volcano. This is an upward discharge from the volcano. You can tell by watching the lightning branch from the source, just like it always does.
Just incredible!
Super spectacular 🤩 ⚡️ was there an electrical storm close by ? I do know Volcanoes release lightning without nearby storms but I thought I heard some rumbling at the start.
Play that last bit of audio out loud at night in the forest lol
Really nice!
Wow❤❤
Beautiful
All the static from the volcanic ash . Super cool
can only imagine teh true sound on top of this mountain and having lighting that close
Such an interesting video. This should be shown in many science classes around the world.
Now that was impressive 😊
Location
Looks more like the lightning strike came out of the volcano? So it hit the atmosphere and not the other way around?
Looks like Scar really has Returned!🦁🌋
WHERE ??
wow, what are the odds! A lightning strike DURING an eruption!!
Soon as the Cloud Dragon Appeared, That's when they all Knew 😮😮😮😮😮
This felt like those aliens in War of The Worlds ‘reawakening’
Awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Two of the most powerful icons of nature. And humans still think they are superior to them, when all are at the mercy of it at all times.
This is volcanic lightning; lightning didn't hit the volcano the volcano made the lightning. -_-
These kind of displays from nature show just how insignificant humans really are
it's like Thor wielding his Mjolnir and giving energy to that angry volcano
0:10 Clash of the Gods!!!
Lightning; oh, so you wanna fight
volcano; YES
Lightning; oh stop trying to be easy on me
Volcano; I am trying to be easy on you you stupid little lightning
Lightning; OK beat it
Volcano; ok
Lightning; i’m a struck you with my lightning
*lights*
Volcano; OW WHAT WAS THAT FOR
Lightning; you said you wanted to fight
Volcano; oh
Lightning; you stupid little vol-
volcano; SHUT UP
Lightning; …
Lightning; bye bye
*leaves*
Volcano; …
Most epic rock, paper, scissors game I've seen yet
Wait. Why is everyone waiting next to a Volcano looking to erupt
The volcano was not struck by lightning, per se. This is a ground to air discharge, not air to ground.
