Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005Beautiful thunderstorm aftermath
On the way home, Friday, we had some pretty severe thunderstorms in Dallas. Streets and highways were flooding, visibility (and driving abilities) were poor (grin). But I made it home okay, and saw this beautiful double rainbow. At the time, I only had my camera phone, so the quality is not as good as it could have been... http://home.comcast.net/~Mark-Edwards/images/misc/rb1.jpg Hugs and Purrs, Mark > On the way home, Friday, we had some pretty severe thunderstorms in > Dallas.

I'm sure glad you had the camera phone. :o) Thanks for sharing it! Donna, Captain, and Stanley > On the way home, Friday, we had some pretty severe thunderstorms in > Dallas.

Most pics I have seen from camera phones are inferior to this. MaryL > On the way home, Friday, we had some pretty severe thunderstorms in > Dallas.

I don't have pics (I was only about 8 years old) but we (my parents, brothers and I) were driving through the Mojave desert on our way to Virginia from California. A freak thunderstorm came up with rain so hard it forced us to pull off the 2 lane highway until it passed. When it was over, my dad exclaimed "Everyone out of the car! Look at that!" There was a HUGE rainbow appearing to stretch from one end of the desert to the other. I've never seen anything quite like it since.

That close one is surprising. My most unusual rainbow sighting was coming down Hamlin Ridge on Mt. Katahdin on a showery afternoon and seeing a rainbow below our feet.

That close one is probably from an ordinary lawn sprinkler. The same optical effect is at work, whether you are speaking of falling rain or falling water from a lawn sprinkler. I have seen a double rainbow only once, on the leading edge of a very intense cloudburst. I suspect that you have to have the falling drops very close together for the second rainbow to be bright enough to be noticeable. SignatureJohn F.

I bet you guys have the same awesome thunderstorms we do. When my sister moved to Wyoming, she said she missed the real earsplitting, thundercrashing, blinding lightning thunderstorms we have. She said Wyoming thunderstorms were really puny.

She said Wyoming thunderstorms were really puny. My experience (two years in Cheyenne at FE Warren AFB) was that it rained lightly, every day, during the Frontier Days rodeo, from 4:00 pm to 4:15 pm (big grin).
