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

Delicious indeed! I'm sure we all wish that your mic was adjusted perfectly and that the recording faded so as to make a loop. We get thunder claps like that often here and I sure love them. There's something captivating about the awesome fear of a thunder storm especially when every hair on your body stands up! Very nice.
