Observing Summary:

Clouds and storms started moving out around 10:00 pm, leaving an
almost totally clear sky by 11:00 pm. Mostly clear until 1:30 am,
and then building clouds steadily as a new cell moved in from the
east. That cell is basically here now, with rain starting, and
thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening, me in every
direction, so we've done a lightning shutdown to be safe while
we're asleep.
