STORMS: Weird light

What a remarkable aftermath of that strong thunderstorm that blew through our area the evening of Friday, Aug. 18. I saw a rainbow over the New Garden Shopping Center -- some people reported a double rainbow -- and the sky contained so many different types of clouds that it looked like the Golden Book of meteorology that we pored over as kids. A patch of dark clouds would be flanked by bright blue sky, and next to that would be horizontal lightning, and then the pouch-like mammatus clouds. My car's automatic headlights kept going on and off as I traveled up Newark Road, and I felt like I needed to switch from my sunglasses to my regular glasses every minute.
