Lightning – electrostatic discharges that light up the sky and crash down to the ground every single second across the world. Scientists have calculated the frequency of these flashes: up to 1.4 billion lightning discharges occur every year.

Discover the Catatumbo Lightning in this episode of Learn Spanish with Stories! Transcript of this episode is available at: https://podcast.lingomastery.com/listen/623
