That is the one thing I truly miss - having moved to the Golden State. There are no thunderstorms here. Once in a while, in the heart of a winter storm, there'll be some embedded thunder and a sudden burst of rain loud enough to hear on the roof. But a real summer t-storm? Just memory.
When I was in college in Baltimore I was treated twice to a near-identical sight. My apartment was on a sort of low ridge, so the west view was wide open. We had two late-evening thunderstorms - then the sun broke thru just before setting. Look east and - twice I got to see the same thing. This velvety electric-black sky with a perfect semicirlce of neon-bright rainbow projected on it. I mean *bright*: even the secondary arch had more than one color series. Inside the read-by-it primary was a semicircle of luminous orange sky - backscatter from the firehose rains still headed East.
