Thunder in suburban melbourne, light rain. A wide variety of different strikes, good for drama, easy to eq for different emphasis. One massive overhead strike about 6:15 in. Xy-coincident stereo mic recording @44k1.
An earthquake that ripples through from far away and then makes the roof of a house crack and cave in. Used audacity to manipulate a couple different sounds to create the rumble of the earthquake. Then i added the cracking noise in the same program from a different effect (wood breaking).
