Thanks George, Suzanne, Dave and others, for your encouraging comments.
I don't recall a "famous thunderclap series." I suspect George might be
referring to a couple recordings I evidently posted here a year or so
ago in the midst of a discussion about recording thunder.
I got incredibly lucky one afternoon in August 2005 and managed to
capture a couple thunder claps almost directly overhead in the back
yard. For reasons I can't explain, they came across relatively clean
and undistorted. This is actually two thunder claps, crossfaded
together into a single clip:

Then there was a recording I made about a year ago just outside my
front door. There was a gentle rain that evening with some low rolling
thunder. An emergency vehicle passed through the neighborhood:

I'm guessing these might be what George had in mind.
