Lightning bolt from Shinmoedake peak in Japan

Hundreds of TPODs have been published since the summer of 2004. In particular, we invite discussion of present and recent TPODs, perhaps with additional links to earlier TPOD pages. Suggestions for future pages will be welcome. Effective TPOD drafts will be MORE than welcome and could be your opportunity to become a more active part of the Thunderbolts team.

A nice picture of lightning shooting from a "volcanic eruption".

This picture really wow'd me. I've never seen anything like it. Its obviously spitting out lightning and not "lightning striking the volcano" as other news sites are saying. Very cool.

Yes, a nice picture of electrical discharge from earth to sky through a dense plasma field. I hope they are monitoring the voltage that produced this.

I wonder if an outer atmosphere discharge accompanied this?

Would be interesting to know how many times a day this occurs.

thanks...
