HoarfrostHubb Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I wonder if anyone was able to record any of these. We get weird thunder echoing off hills/mountains sometimes, esp. if there is some different sort of atmospheric condition... not sure I would ever freak ou about it. Did it make any news reports?

nrgjeff Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have heard ducting a lot living in both the Plains and Tennessee Valley. Maybe it just does not happen as much on the Gulf Coast. Some of the loudest thunder I've heard are times elevated convection is in progress over an inversion, with chilly air at the surface. The temp profile really reflects the sound down. I'm guessing they freaked out if they don't get those temperature profiles often at the Gulf Coast. I've heard louder single claps of thunder storm chasing. However my loudest overall thunderstorms, with all of the thunder quite noisy, have actually been during cool regimes under inversions. Crank it up, baby!

HurricaneFrances04 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hate to bump an old topic but I found a video: http://video.godlike...dc23278f556c0d0 Now note that the video is from godlikeproductions (aka crazyland) but this might be the sound the NWS was talking about. Does sound a little bit like thunder. ETA: Though now that I think about it, it does kind of sound like an airplane taking off. Being next to PBIA I hear it quite often when there are storm clouds.
