Eruption-induced lightnings make for great sound: first the explosion and then a few seconds later the lightning thunder.

Thanks Tomek! It's like the discharge of static electricity, but on a large scale. I suppose fast-moving particles in the ash cloud rub against each other and build up a charge. I didn't know about those lightnings either until I saw them. It's good stuff.
