But I bet he got impressed (perhaps more impressed than impressed is generally taken to mean). Anyway, from NASA. http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/individual.php?db_date=2008-05-12 JK Malcolm,

Of course a somewhat superstitous local villager might still make attributions but: http://www.geo.mtu.edu/volcanoes/west.indies/soufriere/govt/miscdocs/assess121897.html#VolcHaz Under the heading, "Other Volcanic Hazards" item #21. (Pasted from site) "Other hazards include lightning and volcanic gases. Explosive eruptions can generate lightning which has been a significant cause of death on other volcanoes. So far lightning displays have been modest from Soufriere Hills eruptions." Doesn't make it any less impressive though does it? JK Malcolm,
