    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.

      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.

            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.

      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.

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

      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.

      Right?

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

      We have come so far.

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

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

    It’s like that.
