Something you might not remember…

A pyrocumulus, or fire cloud, is a dense cumuliform cloud associated with fire or volcanic activity, which may produce dry lightning.

Mount Etna is an active volcano on the east coast of Sicily.

A volcano is a rupture on the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.

Sicily (/ˈsɪsɨli/ SISS-i-lee; Italian: Sicilia [siˈtʃiːlja]; Sicilian: Sicilia) is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea; along with surrounding minor islands, it constitutes an autonomous region of Italy officially referred to as Regione Siciliana.
