Recordist's notes
There was a series of electrical storms just off the coast tonight, looming over garden island, and south to Kwinana. I jumped in the car and headed down to the water to catch some better views of the storm, and I waited for it to get close enough to hear. The rain on the roof is the very edge of the storm and the ocean was just flashing from about 5 strikes a minute, 180 degrees around me. Recorded from inside my car, with the window down. The wind noise is the sound of the wind whipping through the door frame. I was getting pretty wet with the window down, but it provided the best sound. Thanks to Zak for the company while recording this, Recorded on a Zoom H2N, Zoom windshield, with ATH-M40x headphones.
