It was thundering in Cambridge yesterday evening - a fair bit actually, but it was quite far away. Best is when it's right over your head, of course! You'd need a mic with quite a bit of low-end sensitivity, I reckon, and fairly sensitive to transients (especially if it's cracking really near by!)

I've been meaning to record some police sirens, actually - they go past my house a fair bit, and the reverb from the nearby buildings is quite cool. There's a good (and free) VSTi called Dubsiren, which comes close if you drench it with 'verb, but it doesn't quite cut it for realism (though it's good for that 80s telephone type sound).

Cheers!

Chris
