Every spring and summer is a rainy season. This time is the most prone to lightning. Everyone knows that lightning is the most common phenomenon in cumulonimbus clouds. Whenever there is lightning in the sky, it is usually accompanied by a flash. Bright and eye-catching, these scenarios look beautiful to many, but terrifying to the faint of heart.

Speaking of lightning, many people may not know that there is a village in the world that is surrounded by lightning all the year round. Let me tell you this, there are lightning in the sky for more than half of the 365 days of the year. Where is this village? ? Today, I will share with you a very unfortunate village in the world, which can be hacked 280 times in an hour!

This dangerous village is located at the confluence of the Maracaibo Lake and the Catatumbo River in Venezuela. It is called Congumilardo Village. People in this village see lightning as we usually see it. Drizzle is normal, and it is the same for men, women and children. No matter how big the thunder is, you are not afraid of it. Of course, it does not mean that the people here are high and bold, it is just because the people here are already numb to lightning. As if not seen.

Because the geographical environment of this place is relatively special, and the climate is different from other places, there is basically lightning most of the time in a year, and sometimes the lightning can last for nearly 10 hours, and only within an hour The number of lightning strikes is as high as 280, so the people here are accustomed to the sound of lightning from the womb, not to mention seeing such a situation after growing up.

For them, the lightning here is as normal as we usually eat and sleep, and they didn't say anything strange or natural or man-made because of the lightning all the year round, so they didn't take it to heart. The thunder here is different from Other thunder, because of the perennial lightning, sometimes the arc can even reach 5 kilometers, and the intensity is as high as 400,000. Even if you stand at a place of 400 to 500 kilometers, the thunder can be clearly seen. There is also a strange phenomenon when lightning occurs, that is, only lightning does not strike thunder. For this phenomenon, many scientists once went to study it because they were very curious about this phenomenon.

Later, after a long time of research, I learned that it was only because of the terrain here, because it was close to the Andes Mountains, so when thunderclouds collided here, storms were generated. As for the perennial lightning, it is because there are more swamps here. , When the organic matter in it decomposes, a large amount of methane is generated, so lightning is formed. It is because of this that many tourists have come to experience the lightning from thousands of miles away. If you have the opportunity, you are willing to come to this place to experience What about the "Rage of Thunder" here?
