This clip was made because I was looking for a strong thunderstorm sound effect for a school play. I wasn't able to find one that was strong enough for what I wanted, so this .mp3 was made in Audacity from three other audio files from FreeSound - they are #s 27247, 2521, and 87472. This information is also in the 'comment' metadata of the MP3 file.
As far as I can tell, this is the "strongest" storm available on FreeSound as of early February 2010. (I could be wrong of course!)
If there is interest, I can upload an uncompressed AIF of the audacity track (it'll take awhile) but I figured there was no point since 2/3rds of the files used were originally MP3's from here.
Hope this helps someone looking for a long, strong storm with high winds, loud rain, and many thunderbolts! (the thunderbolts are duplicated throughout the file; the original file contained a much more natural and less angry storm)

WOW! Very powerful Thunderstorm and Rain sounds. Apart from a few scratchy bits it really is a fantastic recording!

Hope you don't mind, csengeri - I had only a limited amount of time to get this done for the play so I only took a half hour to look around for sound files. :) Your other one was the first I found!
