Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela is known
as the "lightning capital" of the world. It has been recorded that
about 1.2 million bolts of lightnings strike the area every year.
It is little wonder that the people who live there refer to the nightly storms as
"never-ending".

Tasik Maracaibo
Tasik Maracaibo di Venezuela dikenali sebagai "ibukota
petir". Telah direkodkan bahawa sebanyak 1.2 juta petir menyambar
kawasan tersebut setiap tahun. Tidak hairanlah penghuni-penghuni Tasik
Maracaibo memanggil ribut petir di tempat mereka sebagai tidak henti-henti.
