This is a 25 minute field recording of a severe summer thunderstorm with pounding rain, cracks of lightning, gusting wind, and grumbling thunder.

It starts very heavy and loud for the first 8 minutes. The next 9 minutes start getting lighter, but the thunder keeps rolling, the wind is strong, the rain is medium hard, and birds are chirping. As the rain gets lighter, the metropolitan ambiance of cars and trucks become more audible in the distance. The rain becomes lighter for the last 9 minutes.

Recorded with a ZOOM H2n Portable Recorder.
