By early afternoon, the morning rain had picked up and was falling hard, in sheets...
By mid afternoon, the clouds had become downright ominous. So dark in fact, the tall towers couldn't even be seen at first. This was about 3 pm, not evening, by the way...I've seen fog block out the views of Springfield, but never dark cloud cover, this thick, and so low to the ground. The rain continued to pound the Earth...What could this mean..?
Was the end finally here..? Had we tweaked the weather systems enough with our wasteful existence, and finally brought our civilization into darkness and flood?
Will our familiar patterns of life and society descend and decay, devolving into chaos, and animal law..?
Can we turn it all around? Is all it too late..?
No. It's just New England...wait a minute. By late afternoon, the darkest cover had lifted a bit and the rain began to taper.
Reprieved again.
...but it was downright spooky...

I was also struck when I looked out my kitchen window at about 6 p.m. that the clouds were bulging and heavy as though there was going to be a major bout of precipitation, but I don't think there was after all.
Love it when the weather gets turbulent like that...
