Rode NT4 -> maudio delta1010LT, capturing a lightning strike that made the walls of my house shake, and forced me to turn off my computer. The lightning occured ~167 meters away from the microphone, calculated from the time lapse between the initial DC spike and the start of audible strike. Clipped quite a bit, had the input slightly too high, but did not expect one to hit so close. A picture hanging on my wall shook violently when this one hit. This was captured at the end of session on 5_28_2006, same night as http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=19283

thx all. This one scared me really bad that night haha, literally the walls were shaking from it, and the whole night turned to day for a couple seconds it was so bright from this strike. I have hours of rain and lightning recorded but life is a bit too busy for me to go back through and organize and upload it all. maybe someday..

Oboy. I'm going to steal the first part of this, to set as the alert beep for email from the new boss.
