That is pretty common. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_lightning

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

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.

And religion was born

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."

[–] neo@lemy.lol 1 points 2 years ago

Fear not! For God has told me what angered him and how we can be forgiven!

Stop touching yourself!

I'm sorry but "Mount Fuego". Pretty low-effort name. Do they also have a Lago de Agua? Just sayin.

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Meanwhile in the UK...

"White Cliffs"

"Green Park"

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Or the entire state of Vermont.

Literally Verde Monte

The green mountain state.

[–] Linnce@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I the USA "central park"

New York, New Hampshire...

Creativity in names has never been a strong point

Space

Yea there's an unimaginable amount of shit out there, but between it all? So much space for activities

[–] DatNSFW@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 years ago

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.
