Mesmerizing…

Mother Nature is an awe-inspiring force, displaying a blend of strength and delicacy that can be both beautiful and deadly. The term “mesmerizing” seems fitting when you witness one of her extraordinary shows, such as volcanic lightning. This remarkable phenomenon, both powerful and entrancing, was actually captured on camera in Guatemala. The video of the lightning show captured above went mega viral, and for good reason. It’s stunning.

Newsweek:

A stunning video of spider-web lightning striking a volcano in Guatemala in what almost appears to be a spectacular firework display has gone viral online.

The impressive display of lightning struck close to the Acatenango volcano, close to the city of Antigua, southwest of the capital Guatemala City, and was captured on camera by Derrick Steele.

While the lightning strike happened in July, the clip recently went viral on social media with Newsweek finding numerous videos receiving more than 100,000 views each.

A video of the unique lightning formation shared in an August 18 post on X, formerly known as Twitter, by AccuWeather received more than 1.4 million views.

It captioned the video: “This isn’t an optical illusion. The Acatenango volcano in Guatemala does produce volcanic lightning.”

Describing a case of spider lightning in 2018, the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service said: “These extensive lightning flashes often simultaneously strike the ground in multiple places miles apart. They also are known to trigger upward lightning from tall objects.”

What a sight!
