Lightning & Rainbows

The storm that was predicted for Sunday finally came at dusk, and after such a brilliantly sunny day it was quite amazing. As the first blasts of lightning shot through the sky outside our living room window, this double rainbow appeared. (The second one is to the left of the main one, and fairly faint in comparison, but it's there.) The main rainbow was so intense - perhaps the most intense in terms of color and brightness that I've ever seen - and these photographs don't do it justice at all. The best part came when a shock of bolt lightning that looked like a spider (eight legs of white light coming from the sky) sliced the rainbow in half for a split second. Extremely cool... We turned off the television and watched the sky for awhile.
