  1. The unusual (visually and emotionally contrasting and symbolically rich) weather phenomenon in Ls 2&3 is observed by the N "all morning" in L1.

    This thought-provoking haiku works well as an analogy:

    Living in an "increasingly messy world," we are "tempted to see everything" through a [ideologically, sociopolitically, culturally, ...] binary lens.

    And most importantly,

    People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.
