The electrical activity associated with this explosion was the most intense and prolific of all the previous events. The initial activity consisted of 5 moderately sized, discrete discharges centered over Redoubt during the first 4 minutes. Lightning intensity quickly increased, and throughout the whole sequence there was always lightning located over the volcano.
