Over the Rainbow #SkywatchFriday

Tuesday, the phone rang.  While spouse spoke to his cousin, I noticed an unusual glow outside.  I ran outside, in my bare feet.

The evening before, we had a fierce thunderstorm and a possible microburst where I live in upstate New York.  Thousands were left without power, and hundreds of trees came down.  We were under a state of emergency for the next two days, with roads blocked and many people left without power or water.


In the east, this is what greeted me.

I started to move to my right, to capture more of the rainbow.
Then, I looked behind me.

This is what I saw.

A couple of minutes, and a few feet forward, this was the view.

I only captured a fraction of what I saw that magical May 2.


Please join other bloggers at Skywatch Friday and check out the skies all over the world.
