Lightning is usually born after sunset when it is already dark.
According to the experts, cited by Xataka, about 28 rays per minute are produced for nine hours on Lake Maracaibo.
That is more than 15,000 lightning strikes in that period. NASA assures that the phenomenon could illuminate 100 million light bulbs, and 10 minutes of these lightning bolts would illuminate all of South America.
According to National Geographic, more than a million lightning strikes originate each year in the area, which regenerates 10% of the planet's ozone layer.
