The Beacon Maracaibo
There is a lightning storm that almost never ends in Venezuela. On most nights, the storm starts at 7 p.m. and lasts for 10 hours over the Catatumbo River. On average, the storm rages on 260 nights a year.
Scientists and meteorologists say that uranium in the air could be to blame. Another theory is that the nearby Andes Mountains collides with warm trade winds and evaporating water and methane from a nearby oil field could be another reason as to why this happens. In 2010, it randomly stopped but only for six weeks.
