And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Eerie Sound from Approaching Pyroclastic Flow at Semeru Volcano, Indonesia
On 19 November 2025, Indonesia’s Mount Semeru produced a large and dangerous pyroclastic flow, sending searing clouds of ash, gas, and rock many kilometers down its slopes. This video captures the scale of the event from a safe vantage point.
The superheated ash and ejecta create static electricity in abundance, which then forms lightning, which translates to the thunder you hear. If you looks at any volcanic eruption where there's ash billowing, you'll see lightning.
That's a pretty amazing video, and you can speed it up without missing a thing.
ReplyDeleteQuite remarkable, the contrast between the lush green jungle and gray of the volcano dust is striking.
ReplyDeleteSounds like rain and thunder. But it's also happening during (causing?) a thunderstorm.

DeleteThe crackling popping sounds most likely trees exploding
