Double rainbow after a fast storm rolls into Ocean City, Maryland

The storm came rather quickly. There was talk of a storm and it was very interesting to actually see one come in or up from the Atlantic Ocean for once since I live at least a hundred miles inland. On the east coast of the USA, most storms follow the jet stream which runs from the western US to the east or up the eastern coast or comes down from Canada. This one was coming inland quickly, and we were in a vacation town called Ocean City, Maryland. There is a boardwalk, rides, large beaches, lots of dining, boating, fishing and many other recreational things to do. Here was the view from our oceanfront condominium that we rented, as viewed looking out east into the Atlantic Ocean.

Then it came in faster...

Then it really started to pour, as viewed from the front window of our rental...

That didn't stop us from going out though, we ended up going out across the street to a small restaurant for ice cream to let the storm pour out. There was lightning and thunder. I may have captured it in video but not in these still photos.
When the rain stopped, the sun started breaking through the clouds.

Then there were rainbows, big arched rainbows. In order to try to capture the double rainbow with my simple Samsung phone, I needed to cut the rainbow in halves to try to get the detail. I hope you enjoy the power and beauty of the nature. The double arch is difficult to see. Perhaps if I used some imaging software to enhance the photos, I could bring the color out more.



Maybe these 2 images are too similar?

The kids were enjoying their treats as I just got done capturing mother nature. They were a little nervous about me being outside during the heavy rain but I was under an awning until I started taking pictures of the rainbows.


These images are viewed from across the street, looking towards the Atlantic Ocean from a restaurant on what is called the Coastal Highway. I also have some videos of the black clouds rolling in. Perhaps I can get one of the better ones up on D-Tube as a follow up to this. I hope you enjoyed this rare event seen in Ocean City, NJ.

I'd appreciate the upvote if you found these images interesting, especially if you've been to OCMD before, you may even know whereabouts these photos were taken. I've never seen this happen there before or after; and I go there yearly for a week. Happy Steeming!

I just added an edit here hours later with a video of the black clouds rolling in over the ocean:
