I live in Yakima, Washington. In 1980, our first clue that Mt St Helens had erupted was the sound of thunder. The thunder and lightning continued for hours as long as the ash was still falling.

I was in Costa Rica at the hot springs and its incredible. As the volcano rumbles and erupts the springs will pulse hot water! Its so awesome!

i believe that even though matt sounds logical, he cannot make it happen again to prove..it was a oonce in a life time chance so get over it really.as you can see there was alreadya storm at hand brewing(building up,whatever you wish to call it, but that isnt important , what is is….)it was just “waiting” for there to be enough electrons in the air to build up to the point that there is enough electrical current in the air to where the storm can begin..it just so happened that a volcano erupted and caused a beuatiful work of art.

Totally AWESOME!!!!!! Sweetest thing ever! You don’t see something like this everyday. Enjoy it and it’s probably a picture that will go in text books and in history.

Volcanoes can cause lightning from all of the particles released into the atmosphere.

in case anyone forgot, that eruption of saint helen lasted 9 hours. Killing 57 people, destroying about 250 homes and covering over 200 sq miles of forest under ash, but don’t let that bring you down cause thats a beautiful picture…

Actually, the lightning is created by the eruption itself. The ash that was launched out of the volcano rub together a lot, creating so much friction that THUNDER comes out. still pretty freakin awesome pic

I agree with Rob. This, at first glance, looked a lot like a storm elephant.

Lol:)
