Weather in summer with black cloud and storm, Dark sky and dramatic ...

dark clouds are forming a smell of rain in the air calm before the storm

Very nice, Bill. Brings back memories for a lot of folks I'm sure. Reading these lines, I can easily recall this smell many times. Brings me back to several places.
