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..
