I stood at the edge of the orchard, facing the southern sky, surrounded by the buzz and bite of mosquitoes and watched. Slapped mosquitoes and watched some more.  

As I fed mosquitoes the whole impressive show slid by, the sun set and I turned and headed back to my dark house.

The storm just before this one was more of a direct hit. No major damage but it’s been over two hours now and our power still hasn’t recovered!
