Binaural Thunder A.wav

Shorter version here - http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=34777 What is it about thunder that sends us all scurrying for our field recording rigs? I see thunder sounds are some of the most downloaded on Freesound. In this recording I am standing under my eaves making a binaural recording. This one has some nice bass response (sub-woofers on!). Starts out with a distant rumble, then a semi-muted boom, not too loud. The GEOTAG is the approximate location of the lightning. Recording chain: Sound Professionals SP-TFB-2 Binaural Microphones (in ear) -> Edirol R-09 (mic in, level 10) -> 16 bit 44.1 kHz
