DiverD,

Yes "Thunder and Lightening" but it would appear that MWB has
turned it into another "Knock on Wood" experience with N8KDV.

Eddie Floyd song lyrics to "Knock on Wood"
http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/beverlyhills90210songsfromthepeachpit/knockonwood.htm

The key song lines being:
It's like Thunder (MWB) and Lightning (N8KDV),
the way you love me is frightening.
You better knock, knock on wood, baby.

MWB - I (We) Hear You Knocking - Buy You Can't Come In :]
Brian Adams song lyrics "I Hear You Knocking"

NOTE: Up in the Sierras near Village of Twain Harte.
[ Up in the Hills but Down in a Valley ]
Using a Low Noise Antenna during the Summer Days when the
Shortwave Bands are 'quite' I can hear the Lightening Crashes
up-and-down the length of Sierra Nevada Mountains:
Some LOUD, some Soft and some oh so faint.
{The Earth Speaks ! - Will You Listen ?}

gentlemen??

See

reports of Islands 3,000 miles away from Krakatoa, hearing a Huge roar,
followed by a Tidal wave,
give some credence to being able to hear Thunder 40 Miles away..

& how would a Disaster of that magnitude
affect Shortwave Propagation.
