This is the sound of close and frequent hits of lightning during the late-night of May 31, 1985 in SE New York State (Islip, Long Island). This was the same weather system that caused the infamous "Tri-State Tornado Outbreak" earlier that same day. As the line of severe thunderstorms finally passed through my area, I was there to record this audio of the electrically-active thunderstorms. Note that despite the low audio fidelity, you can still hear the "crackling" sound of some of the louder lightning hits.

The video requires at least a DSL connection and the latest FLASH Media Plugin for best results. This video is hosted to and linked to the YOUTUBE site (you can visit them at www.youtube.com). Click on the "play" icon in the video above if it does not start automatically.
