Thunder's pitch is considerably higher, starting at 50 cycles and crashing sometimes as high as 40 cycles above Middle...
...tumultuous noise-making was the appearance of an ex-heavyweight world's champion garbed in the full regimentals of a Marine Corps Major serving conspicuously on that Governor's military staff.
