Extreme weather events don\u2019t get any more badass than this, folks. <\/p>\n

As lava spewed and plumes of ash rose more than a mile above Japan\u2019s Sakurajima volcano, spectators in nearby villages watched in awe when a lightning storm app<\/a>eared to form directly over the rupture. <\/p>\n

One Reuters photographer with keen timing was able to capture the spectacular event \u2014 at one of the world\u2019s most active volcanoes \u2014 in an image that depicts nature\u2019s most powerful phenomena in an epic clash. <\/p>\n

Volcanic lightning \u2014 which may appear to be striking down onto the volcano or up from its mouth \u2014 is not uncommon; however, scientists have yet to fully understand why it happens, as erupting volcanoes can be difficult to study up close, according to Live Science<\/a>. <\/p>\n

One theory goes that static electricity, caused by the colliding particles of billowing smoke clouds, prompts the bolt of energy \u2014 a process felt on a human scale via static jolts. Another rationale suggests that ice crystals bouncing about the stratosphere could also be rubbing against the high-flying ash and water vapor, in a physical (as in physics<\/em>) reaction similar to how free-standing lightning storms occur. <\/p>\n

There have been no reports of significant damage or injury to communities nearest to Sakurajima, according to local reports<\/a>. Earlier this year, the Philippines\u2019 Taal Volcano performed a similar light show \u2014 and forced some 300,000 residents to evacuate. <\/p>\n
