One of the best thunderclaps I ever recorded - sounds very similar to the classic and overused "Castle Thunder".

Like I said before - these were recorded in the summer of 1988 in Connecticut. I was really lucky when this storm blew in, as I had just finished an interview for a radio station) I recorded this with my little tascam portastudio (new at the time). I did not use dbx nr.

:37 - Recorded July 1988 - Danbury CT - EV635 to Tascam Portastudio.
