Late October thunderstorm

We had a thunderstorm here aournd 6 this evening. Then the sun came out and there was the biggest, most intense rainbow I'd ever seen. I grabbed my camera, and here's what it looked like from my front porch. It was still thundering when I took this.

    Amazing! I love those one or two storms each year that cast an yellow-orange glow on everything.
    You captured it beautifully!
