There's an atmospheric phenomenon in the country that i live, the Catatumbo lightning, and it occurs in Maracaibo's lake (Venezuela)
This lightning is always happening, I mean it never stops, it directs the navigators as a lighthouse.

Hey, please tell me more about it? Is it the lightning that always strikes at the same place or what? it can't be the lightning thats always on...

Hi! it strikes at the same place in a continuous way, It can occur up to 260 times a year and lasts up to 10 hours per night, this phenomenon can reach 60 electric shocks per minute to be more specific.

Wow, never heard anything like that, definitely now that's a bucket list place to visit for me when steemit makes me enough SBDs

siempre he tenido las ganas de ir!! espero pronto poder ver ese fenomeno con mis propios ojos!!
