There are still people living in this village where lightning and thunder occur 260 days a year.

Many people are very afraid of thunder on rainy days. When they hear such a sound or see lightning, they feel that danger is right in front of them. People are very afraid of this natural "superpower", fearing that such a thing will suddenly happen to them; in fact, the reason why people are so afraid of such a thing is because of the fear of the unknown. In addition, electricity itself is very dangerous, not to mention that it is such a powerful electricity. It is inevitable that some people will be very afraid of such a thing.

For some people who are afraid of thunder, once thunder occurs, whether outside or inside the house, there is no way to get rid of this fear, unless you completely stay in such an environment, you will not see lightning or hear thunder. Generally speaking, thunderstorms do not last long. Generally, there are many thunderstorms only in summer. In other seasons, such things do not occur frequently. If a place is hit by lightning all year round, then there may be some "problem" in this place. Most people don’t believe that lightning and thunder often occur in one place, but such a thing happened in a place in Venezuela, where the highest frequency of lightning occurrences in the world is recorded, with dozens of lightning occurrences per minute, and this lightning also has its own exclusive name - Catatumbo Lightning. Why does such a place appear? Dozens of lightnings can appear in one minute. Such things are almost unimaginable to people, but such incredible things happen in real life. Next, let us take a closer look at this place.

It is understood that there is a place where lightning often falls, Lake Maracaibo, the largest lake in South America. Maybe it is because of a very special geographical environment, or some other reasons. In short, there are about 260 days of lightning and thunder here in a year. Generally speaking, there should be no one living in a place like this, but what people didn't expect was that a village appeared in this place. This village is called Kongumilaldo Village, and people all live in the midst of such lightning and thunder; because lightning often occurs here, so frequently that there can even be thousands of lightning strikes every hour here; if there are people who are afraid of lightning, they probably cannot stay here at all; but no one here is afraid of lightning, because people are completely accustomed to the existence of lightning.

We all know that once lightning appears, especially some huge lightning, there will be huge roaring thunder, but such a strange thing happened here; no matter how big the lightning is, there will be no thunder at all here. This phenomenon makes people very surprised, but it is indeed the case here. There are many people who are not afraid of lightning, but they feel very scary when they hear thunder. If they live in such a place, it must be a very happy thing for those people, but this is different for people who are afraid of lightning.

Because there are often strange scenes of lightning here, and there is no sound, and it does not disturb people's rest, so it attracts many tourists. However, when they come here, they will only watch such scenes here, and will not live here. After all, lightning is not thunder, just a paper tiger, and its power is real. Although they live in a high-risk environment all year round, the lightning here also brings them a safe life; it is said that once here, British and Spanish armies invaded here, but they were not successful. The lightning was the one that successfully stopped these armies.

People living in Congumiraldo Village have completely adapted to the days when lightning lives with them. If such lightning suddenly disappears, they will feel very uneasy; in 2010, due to Due to the long-term drought here, the lightning here disappeared for a long time. During this period, the people living there fell into deep anxiety. But when lightning reappeared here, people finally felt relieved.

It is understood that lightning has appeared in Congumiraldo Village for more than a century. Because of the appearance of lightning, this small village that no one paid attention to has become a must-visit place for many tourists. People living in the local area have also built many buildings specifically for tourists to watch. Although such strange scenes are very interesting, there should be a reason behind these things; we all know that the reason why lightning appears is because two different electrodes collide, so lightning appears. However, such things are not discovered so frequently. What is the reason for such a phenomenon has always been a question that people are very puzzled about. Some people say that the reason why lightning occurs so frequently here is because the warm wind from the Caribbean Sea meets the cold wind from the Andes Mountains, so such things happen. However, some people say that the reason why lightning occurs so frequently here is actually due to the influence of some swamps here.
