Lightning!
I was in downtown Reno on the motorcycle to watch the Reno Philharmonic play in celebration of the Silver Legacy's 11th year birthday. As I was parking, I turned around and saw big, dark clouds and a bolt of lightning. I skidaddled out of there in a hurry. About half way home I saw people stopped by the road taking pictures of what was behind me. There were bright, double, complete rainbows against this big black cloud. It was cool, but the raindrops were catching me. I made it in as the "light show" started. I took a picture of what was left of the rainbow as the sun went down behind the "mountains." The lightning was pretty cool. The whole mountain side (What you call hills in Washington) would light up. Jagged bolts shot through the sky. Probably like the storms you find in Colorado Springs:-)
