On July 26th, marked the end of our long heat wave of 90+ degrees days

We had several thunderstorm lines coming in, seems we were in for a

very exciting evening! It started just before Sunset...at 8:15pm

the sky was in pink and blue hues, most of the lightning was

just dancing in the cotton candy clouds, the sun started to set

and peeked under the cloud line, the rays hit the fine misty

raindrops and whala... a wondrous Rainbow appeared!!!

but the atmosphere was still in electric mode.. and we got

a once in a lifetime treat of a rainbow with lightning!

here's some photo stills and also is the video..really awesome.

the sky behind the rainbow lit up!

a bolt of lightning jumped from cloud to cloud underneath

another brilliant lightning flash w/ rainbow!

a bolt travels along the top left corner

the sky illuminates again, the rainbow holds its' ground!
