Weather

Wildfires around Oregon choked Portland for about 2 weeks with some of the worst air quality in the world. Finally some rain came and it was especially nice because it is incredibly rare to get any thunder here at all, so to get so much was really interesting to the point I got out of bed at 3am and went outside to record this since I couldn't just open up my windows like usual because of the smoke. It is nice to breathe again.

Microphones: Sennheiser MKH 8020sp in SASS
