Ouch!
 Imagine the extra energy released if the detonation occured inside a thunderhead? I had a physics instructor who thought small amounts of nuclear reactions were caused by lightning as in nitrogen converted to ozone. He said keep your eyes open. Just because something is improbable it doesnt make it impossible. Some detonations happen when pressures get to high as stated by Chris Peterson but others happen when the forward pressure suddenly drops causing expasion or instability. most are the result of some kind of forward pressure change be it up or down.
cheers
Steve
