Ahh-Mazing “AHA!” Discovery for April 2017: Area of Most Lightning Strikes in the World

We have been told for years that the Tampa Bay Area, located on the Gulf of Mexico Coast of Florida and where Watt-Ahh® is bottled, qualifies as the “Lightning Capital of the World.” This distinction may or may not be accurate. It seems Tampa’s sparky competition lies within the vicinity of Lake Maracaibo, located within the northwestern portion of Venezuela. It is estimated over 1.2 million lightning strikes occur in a year, and some lightning episodes can last for up to ten consecutive hours. Part of the history and folklore include the belief by ancient indigenous people that the lightning was triggered when fireflies encountered the ancestral spirits.

This Ahh-Mazing “AHA!” Discovery this month highlights Nature’s most frequent sparky displays in the World.
