Unecessarily Awoken

I was awoken from sleep by my bedside weather radio around 10:30 pm CDT, Monday, October 8, 2018. A storm cell in Benton County, Iowa had intensified to become severe-warned, and was moving toward home in Cedar Rapids on its northeast track. Above is a view looking west from Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids at 11:04 pm CDT. Clouds from the line of storms can be seen over the trees. Also visible is the bright (0.00 magnitude) star Vega in the constellation Lyra at right center. Image is a 25-second exposure at f/4.5, ISO 250 and 18mm focal length. Just after this image was captured the storm began to weaken and quickly dissipated. The next day, however, would bring longer-lived tornadic storms in nearly the same location.

Radar image capture of the time corresponding to the photograph. My position is shown by the target icon. Note the storm track. Even if the storm had held together it might have still slid west of me and was on this night a false alarm.
