big_lightning_with_dc_spike_reverse.wav

Rode NT4 -&gt; 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 <a href="http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=19283" rel="nofollow">http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=19283</a>
