Amazing

Amazing double rainbow this morning

What an incredible electrical storm last nights. It rained very heard with lots of thunder and lightening from midnight onwards but by 2pm it stopped. At 3am the electrical storm restarted and was much more violent. Lightening struck every 20 seconds. It was amazing to see the sky ... and the whole City lighted up by these flashes. And it rained very hard again till 4.30am. All that celestial noise kept me awake ... and fascinated by the phenomenon that we have not seen over over a decade. What a way to start the New Year ... literally with a bang.

Then this morning ... 4 degrees with gusty cold winds and very grey skies ... an amazing sight stopped the City. A full double rainbow stretched across the entire City. It was utterly awesome. Photos have been flying all over the local social networks. If anyone missed it in the skies, he surely would have seen it in the pics.

The day continued to be very grey and cold. At 3.30pm it was only 5 degrees. And the wind is very gusty and very very cold. More rain and lightening predicted for midnight. I guess I'll be awake again. The thunder is simply too loud for me to sleep.
