On this day in 2007, I recorded a particularly awesome thunderstorm using a home-made Jecklin disk, an Edirol R1, and a pair of modified Panasonic microphones. The microphones were completely exposed to the elements, and the recorder was wrapped in three layers of zip-lock bag inside a cooler to keep it dry.

This is one of my favorite field recordings that I've captured myself. Poor Boots the dog, though, left out there all alone...

@BorrisInABox internet stranger, this is beautiful! It also just caused me an epiphany about my dislike of white noise machine rain: my cozy comfort weather memory is sitting in a screened porch as a wee thing listening to a proper mid-US rolling thunder storm. Dogs optional but not unwelcome.
@tsdower There is just something about that, isn't there? I love that kind of thing. Everyone else in my house absolutely doesn't.
