Shit, beat me to it. Another user posted something similar a bit ago and I was going to respond with a post about St. Elmo's Fire. I've never seen it, but I've heard it's beautiful and amazing.

Edit: This is the post I saw earlier today.

The safety manager of the Coode Island oil storage facility in Melbourne, Aus that went boom when i was a kid swears black and blue that it was caused by st elmos fire. and apparently wikipedia agrees.

huh. whaddya know. its the official government line too.

so TIL that the 1991 coode island explosion was probably a terrorist attack. actually no its footscray so probably a painters and dockers vs mua thing.

I've never seen it. I have seen the green flash but that's not as rare
