An awesome thread!

To me, this one is the most extraordinary! No Thunder!

Catatumbo’s everlasting storm, Venezuela

Remember the saying that lightning never strikes in the same place twice? Forget that. A remarkable site at the mouth of the River Catatumbo, branching off Maracaibo Lake in western Venezuela, is the stage for an amazing lightshow on average 150 nights a year, totalling a million flashes annually. Oddly though, no thunder follows the lightning. The bizarre phenomenon is found nowhere else on Earth, and is thought to be the single biggest generator of ozone on the planet.


I think this is very much a great example of how the earth is a living being, trying to fix its outer skin. A nice thought indeed.

He used quotes, he just forgot to add the link I think. He would not have used quotes if he was passing it off as his own.
