The lightning of the Catatumbo

Hello everyone, @Steemit community today I am going to share a little information about this supernatural meteorological phenomenon called the Catatumbo.

It is located in Venezuela, State, Zulia, municipality Catatumbo. This phenomenon is characterized by the appearance of a
series of lightning almost continuously.

the great distances that are needed to observe the phenomenon, which occurs in clouds of great vertical development forming electric discharges between 1 and almost 4 kilometers high, as the winds associated with the Low Level Night Jet of the Lake Basin of Maracaibo penetrate the surface of the lake in the afternoon hours (when the evaporation is greater) and are forced to ascend through the mountain system of Perijá (3,750 meters above sea level) and the Cordillera de Mérida, the Venezuelan branch of the Andes ( up to 5,000 m, approximately).
