A Thunderstorm and a Solar eclipse

What if where you are living there is a thunderstorm occurring and at the same time a few miles away a solar eclipse is happening for only a few short hours. One day/night a small boy sat on a swing listening to something on his radio. Something told him to take his earphones off and look around. He did. This little boy noticed that for some reason it was getting slightly darker even at this early hour in the afternoon on this day. The spring peepers were peeping, the bats were flying about, and lightening bugs were lighting up the yard. The boy thought that it was kind of eerie, but at the same time interesting and comforting. All the stories that he had heard of cataclysmic things happening during an eclipse did not happen, but who knows maybe somewhere something did happen, but in this backyard nothing happened but night came a few hours early and now the sun is back and the birds are singing. There is really nothing to be afraid of during a solar eclipse this little boy learned.
