ATDDTA: Child Of The Storm

[Tore Rye Andersen]

Keith:

>Nikola [...] was  born "at the stroke of midnight" during a summer storm 
>and lightning.  The village midwife, afraid of storms, said,

>"He'll be a child of the storm,"

>to which the mother replied, "No, of light."

Another great find, Keith! It corresponds very nicely with the passage on p. 
327, where Tesla tells Kit of his birth as a scientist. Sitting in a cave, 
he waits for a storm to break and has a vision:

"Not until a great burst of lightning came from out of nowhere did heaven 
open, and the rain begin. I understood that something enormous had been 
poised to happen, requiring an electrical discharge of a certain size to 
trigger it. In that moment, all this [his Tower, and thus his career in 
science] was inevitable." (AtD, 327)

So Tesla the baby was born during storm and lightning, and so is Tesla the 
scientist: Both are Children of the Storm, and Children of Light.
