April 29 [=30, 1962], Monday
April is supposed to be the month of showers, but this had been a very dry month; this until today. Today was a bright, sunny day until about 2:00 [PM] when the sky started to get black in the west and north-west. It began raining at about 3:00 at [sic] didn't stop until about 4:30. At about 3:15 it got nearly pitch black and the wind began blowing hard.
By 6:00 the sun was shining again and I saw the first Chimney Swifts of the year flying high overhead.
