| Amazing photo: Lightning storm wrapping around an erupting volcano
Pretty much what the thread title says: Chaiten volcano in Southern Chile erupted recently in the middle of the night, during an electrical storm. This photo shows the lightning being attracted to the eruption.  News story and more pics.
