Lightning Hits this Place for 300 Nights...

Did you know that the intersection between Catatumbo River and Lake Maracaibo in northwestern Venezuela is victim to lightning strikes 300 times a year and lightning flashes several times over one second? It holds the world's most lightning bolts per kilometer squared. This is created from the cool air from the Andes that mixes with the warm air from the Caribbean Sea causing this very unusual weather phenomenon.
