I recorded this half hour storm on my front front porch during a thunderstorm using a Zoom H4N. I just let it run, and then picked it up after the storm had basically passed.

I converted it to mono, as the right channel wasn't working 100%. It was using the built in mic.
I had the record volume at about 29, to leave plenty of head room for the rumbling of the thunder.

It's been saved as a 320k mono mp3.
