Cloudburst and Rainbow on August 7th, 2018

I was driving back from Mom`s house the evening of August 7th, after taking her supper and visiting with her as I have done every day since her release from the hospital earlier this year…as I turned on to the North Service Road just west of Sullivan, I spotted what appeared to be a cloudburst ahead in the skies….

 

 

I had always heard of them, but had never seen one up close like this….sure was neat to see…and when I stopped up on the Hwy FF Bridge over I-44 to shoot some more photos of it, I noticed there was a rainbow forming up under the cloudburst as well….

 

…and that seemed very unusual to me…I had never heard of such a thing nor seen anything like it, either…

…so I decided to drive close to town to see if it became more visible…as I approached Thomure Lumber, it became very bright and visible underneath the cloudburst !! 

…and as I sat there and watched, it appeared that a second rainbow was trying to form on the other side of the cloudburst as well….two rainbows under this cloud….I wonder what the chances are of that….

…here is a video I shot as well…the rainbow doesn`t show up as well as the photos….
