Mid-Atlantic Thunderstorms Return – Heavy Rain and Thunder Ambience for Refocus

May Thunderstorm: So this is a thunderstorm that just traveled over our neighborhood. As I have said before, it doesn't matter what sounds I plan to do for the week. If there is a thunderstorm, I drop everything, grab the mic, and cross my fingers for a good record. Last year, I tried to document the entire sounds of the tropical storm that passed through our area. There were hours and hours of rain, and I was positive it would produce some stellar sounds. And then a cricket appeared in hour 14. Somehow, it got into my thunderstorm recording booth (shed) and ruined half the show.I thought it would be fine—everyone loves the sound of a cricket—just not right next to the ****** microphone. It wasn't perfect. And I could say more, but why? That cricket is probably dead now.
