I remember reading something about the audio
production for a tornado sound for some Hollywood
movie. They used around 180 tracks which included,
cows, car crashes, breaking glass, etc.
I've never done this type of sound design.
With Tobiah's paper bag idea, you can make many copies
and apply different reverb settings as needed. Perhaps
you'll need one track with a long reverb delay and no
tail which might create the initial Bang and secondary
boom. And another with a huge reverb room, and long
tail to create the impression of a sound wave that's
traveling many miles. With numerous tracks you'll be
able to mix the level of the different effect results.
