I would definitely agree, but the incidental evidence seem to point to that it did simply appear overnight, since it wasn't present before the storm, and the day after, if I remember correctly [considering he wasn't quite himself by that point.] it was.

... I also seem to remember having felt something of a sudden and brief shudder, like an impact, but I'm not going to use that as evidence for anything, as I believe I was shaken out of recharge very briefly and the... er, changed worldview I had after that happened around then.
