Silent streets under thick clouds
Anticipate storms
At 1:05 AM on Sunday, May 11, 2025, I find myself stationary at latitude 32.71803617477417 and longitude -80.01885652542114, on the outskirts of Charleston, South Carolina. The night is warm and humid, with a temperature of 69°F (20°C). The sky is overcast, casting a dense, gray blanket over the area.
The immediate surroundings are quiet, with the occasional rustle of leaves in the gentle breeze. The air is thick with moisture, hinting at the forecasted showers and potential heavy thunderstorms later today. The streets are deserted, and the only sounds are the distant hum of traffic and the chirping of nocturnal insects.
The area is a mix of residential neighborhoods and small commercial establishments. Streetlights cast a soft glow on the pavement, illuminating the facades of nearby buildings. The architecture is characteristic of the region, with porches and shutters adorning many homes. The scent of blooming flowers lingers in the air, adding a subtle sweetness to the night.
As I stand here, the stillness is both calming and anticipatory, knowing that the weather is expected to change dramatically in the coming hours. For now, I embrace the quietude of this humid, cloudy night on the edge of Charleston.
