Then for those with less equipment thunder is still worth recording.
A certain amount of distortion is allowable in thunder recordings.
You can decide for yourself if the linked file is usable. I have and
it worked well. Because of the unexpected bounce the distortion is not
what ended up remembered. I have posted this file here before and it
was used this year in an exhibit as a transition between dis-similar
audio segments.
Recorded with a cheap old atrac minidisc in stereo without edit.
