Smoke billows from the Mt. Etna volcano, as seen from Nicolosi, Sicily, southern Italy, Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022. ROME — A particularly powerful eruption of Mount Etna has created a volcanic storm that sent bolts of lightning dramatically across the sky over eastern Sicily.
The volcanologist, Boris Behnke, told The Associated Press that volcanic lightning was observed once over Etna in 2021, and before that, in 2015. The eruption shortly before midnight Thursday didn’t cause any damage. But it did shoot ash 10 kilometers into the air above sea level.Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions.
