Turn off your lights and do it again.

I'd check around the neckboard first.

if your area has seen a bunch of rain as of late you might have just gotten a little moisture under the anode cap.   Discharge, pull the cup, clean and dry the area under the cup..  getting the rest of the dust of is optional....    ;)
