Rainbows and Lightning

One of the most beautiful things I have seen:
I'm driving east on Loop 306 and it's almost 8pm. There's a storm ahead of me, and a gorgeous sunset behind me... the land is bathed in a unique orange and violet glow. There, in the south (off to my right), a rainbow, clear and crisp. I almost don't notice it, but to my left (north), there's another rainbow... no, it's the same rainbow.
It's the first full arc rainbow I've ever seen. Usually too many hills or mountains, or the light's not right.
A rainbow, and in the stormclouds behind it: lightning bolts. There's only been one time I've seen something like that before: in the rolling hills of Virginia, a lightning bolt splitting a rainbow in two.
I was stuck out in the rain in a parking lot right before that... hasn't happened in a couple years, I think. Such a good evening...
