A lightning strike which occurred on Halloween night 2018 in Brazil has set a new record for the longest lightning discharge yet seen, stretching 440 miles.



About 6 months later in March 2019, a lightning strike in Argentina lasted for 16.73 seconds, another new record.


Back in 2015 in Chile, a volcano eruption caused some epic lightning in and around the ash plume:

Damn nature, you scary!

Ash columns produce so much electricity. Great volumes of gases and ash and heat rising up, creating a ton of friction.

I love eruptions.

some of the craziest thunder/lightning storms I ever saw was in Mexico made thunder storms in the u.s look very weak. these south American storms look worse though.
