Thunderstorm, Stockton-on-Tees

* * THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN EDITED--TRIMMED OFF FIRST 34 SECONDS--ON SUNDAY, 24 MARCH, 2013. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND WHEN READING COMMENTS AS SOME REFER TO POINTS IN THE VIDEO THAT ARE NOW AT AN EARLIER TIME. * * * At least twice in this recording, the levels were lowered (a rare breaking of a fundamental rule of mine) so the later thunder is not as loud as it should be :( Field recording of a thunderstorm over Stockton-on-Tees, England, UK, starting at approximately 1545 BST on Thursday, 14 September, 2006. At least two instances of thunder have a distinct click sound just before them; each click is the lightning flash (inducing electro-magnetic noise into the recording equipment). Only powerful and/or nearby lightning does that; using a well-known formula you can time the period between a click and the thunderclap immediately following it to see how far away the strike was. The closest and most powerful strike in this recording I estimated to hit a neighbouring housing estate with just a narrow green belt of land between me and it. Looking in the next day's local paper, a house that close was, indeed, hit. See if you can work out how far away the strike was. Here's a link to the story in the local paper: http://evening.gazette.vlex.co.uk/vid... ('Lightning Hit Twice'; this isn't a good link -- it's a third-party news archive site -- I'm looking for a better one. There is just enough preview of the story to show another area hit by one of the major strikes: Thornaby (woke my friend up there!).) (BTW, LOL, thought there might be some thunder today, and... it's just come over black here just now and is thundering!)
