The storm got very close to Warsaw, but we never saw any rain.

Hello.

1) The storm got very close to Warsaw, but we never saw any rain.

Is the sentence above correct? The use of 'never' somehow sounds odd to me in this case (because in my mind it contrasts with something that is a single event).
If yes, does it mean exactly the same as below?

2) The storm got very close to Warsaw, but we didn't see any rain.
