A few years ago, a traveler from Barbados married to a Venezuelan woman from Mérida started looking for butterflies in a canal in Lake Maracaibo, near the Ologá Lagoon. There he realized that there was always lightning and that Catatumbo flashes lightning. But he was not satisfied with seeing it, but decided to investigate it and looked for a professor from the University of Zulia. This is how Alan Highton – that is the name of the traveler from Barbados – began to take people to Ologá to rave about this phenomenon that, after investigating and reporting it so much, they managed to verify that the most tremendous storm in the world occurred there. The Guinness record for storms; 260 lightning strikes per square kilometer and the next one has only 90. With Alan we traveled to Ologá 3 times. Arianna, my daughter, photographer and traveler, returned with her students to record the phenomenon for 7 years in a row. Alan bought a stilt house, supported the community, managed to get travelers from around the world and also locals to arrive. But the pandemic came, but no one returned, Alan went to Barbados looking for a life and he stayed there. The stilt began to sink, but it is still there half-parapeted and other guides took its place. We returned to Ologa with one of them, Hernán Parra, a scientific photographer. Convinced that this town of barely 180 inhabitants, 60 of them children, must make a living from tourism. If the storm with a Guinness record in the world occurs there, how come the people of Ologá live in that poverty; without electricity, water, or school for the children and with only a stilt house that receives tourism in the most basic conditions. I visited them to convince them to participate in tourism. Find a way to make a restaurant. I participated in crab fishing, which is what they do in season, and the rest of the morning fishing. I experienced the mother of storms the night we were there, because that's what October storms are like. A can of water. Hurricane-force winds, thunder and lightning. The madness. The splendor The delirium. We walked through the butterfly channel and bathed in the lagoon at the end of the afternoon. In the morning I went to visit some of the inhabitants of Ologá to find out what they thought of the storm. Well, it turns out that while we were delirious with joy, a mother was terrified with her children in the plant's stilt house. Panicked that lightning would strike her. Another told me how she had lost two stilt houses due to storms and now she lives close to the beach and is also blind, as a result of a stroke. A man narrated the nightmare of the storms and a woman lamented the consequences they leave, while she prepared breakfast for the family. How do you live off a phenomenon that overwhelms you? That is the reflection. We must support them so that they understand the storm, because they must live with it forever. Make sure that your stilt houses are stronger so that they resist the attacks. Make sure your children have a teacher. Make sure they have regular light with a plant that works. Only in this way can they be a town that lives off sustainable tourism, where everyone benefits and life is kind.
