Jason, during the 1995/96 Ruapehu eruptions there were a few nights with magical electric discharges.. a dry electrical storm 'precipitating' ash.Jasestrm wrote:That reminds me why would lightning strikes be present if a volcano blew over Auckland? I remember that documentry series are you ready about auckland volcanoes mentioning about this any suggestions why this would be?.

The 1886 10 June eruption of Tarawera also on that spooky night it also sent out magical amounts of lightning (Check out http://www.anheizen.com/)
Lightning is easier to discharge in eruption plumes since the updrafts are MUCH MUCH hotter!! Maybe? NZstorm?
