A buddy sent this in an email-thought it was cool:
Two of nature's most spectacular forces produced an incredible brew in the skies ofChile as a volcanic eruption met a lightning storm. Tons of dust and ash from the eruption of the Chaiten volcano poured into the night sky just as an electric storm passed overhead. The resulting collision created a spectacular sight as lightning flickered around the dust cloud amid the orange glow of the volcano.
The eruption was all the more spectacular because the Chaiten volcano, 800 miles(1,290km) south of Santiago, has been dormant for hundreds, if not thousandsof years. The Patagonian volcano began erupting on Friday and the 12-mile-high plumehas left vast tracts of land coated with a layer of ash.
