CASCA:

I have seen tempests when the scolding winds
Have rived the knotty oaks . . .
But never till tonight, never till now,
Did I go through a tempest dropping fire.
Either there is a civil strife in heaven,
Or else the world, too saucy with the gods,
Incenses them to send destruction.



Which description fits the mood expressed in this excerpt best?

excited and in anticipation of something wonderful once the storm is over
afraid of this storm because it is one of the worst of all he has experienced
calm because this is not the first storm he has encountered
tense and in anticipation of something even worse to come once the storm is over
