TAMPA, FL September 5, 2004: Hurricane Frances crosses the state of Florida, then briefly stalls over the Tampa Bay area as it loses strength. What once had winds over 110 mph, now is barely a hurricane.

The power’s out and everyone is safely tucked away inside… except for me. Armed with a battery-powered DAT recorder plus world-class microphones and preamps, I captured the sound of a dying hurricane.

What I captured surprised me. It wasn’t devastation, destruction, and rage. It was somewhat peaceful and strangely interesting… even useful… sounding like huge, rushing waves and heavy rain.
