Massive eruptions with static discharge lightning Sakurajima Volcano in Japan on Aug 28 and Sep 1, 2011

Sakurajima volcano in Japan usually shows activity, however large explosions from the caldera like this are more rare.

You can clearly see the lava missiles/projectiles/meteors erupt thousands of feet in the air.

The cars below on the highway are safely out of the way, nonetheless this eruption is a large one.

The first massive eruption happened on Augsut 28, 2011



The second massive eruption happened on Sept 1, 2011 sometimes with very impressive lava flows, or explosions… on the rare occasion you get to see the lightning associated with static discharge and friction in the atmosphere.
