Wind, Rain and Approaching Thundershower, Audio Recording Interior to a Native Azalea

 Approaching early morning thunderstorm provided an opportunity to set up recorder under a native azalea (Rhododendron spp.).

Audio available here. 

The native azalea's leaf cover is minimal, so audio from wind, rain and thunder would be significant.

Unlike the Southern Magnolia rainstorm, the native azalea does not offer much cover from the storm.

Sounds of weather events vary when recorded under different plant canopies and offer insights to how ecosystems integrate and how wildlife may respond accordingly.
