Kat West "10 Weird Facts About Lightning Strikes"

One Fact: 


Bolts of light illuminate the sky above the intersection of the Catatumbo River and Lake Maracaibo in northwestern Venezuela more than 300 nights a year, often flashing several times a second. Warm trade winds from the Caribbean Sea mix with cool air descending from the Andes to create an unusual weather pattern that helped the area set a record for the world’s most lightning bolts per square kilometer last year. This is one of the lightning facts that hardly anyone knows. And these are unbelievable natural disasters in the United States that you had no clue happened.
