Quick-thinking New Zealanders managed to film the scene in Wellington while the powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck near Christchurch.

Another video posted on Instagram shows clear, bright flashes of light during the earthquake that killed two people and led to tsunamis.

Could be caused by increased methane seepage mixed with sulfur compounds — both are very natural constituents in the earth’s upper crust.

These piezoelectric discharges have occurred over entirely unpopulated areas as well. Not an AC phenomenon.
