I had never seen one of these double or triple rainbows before. Then again I did not see a bolt of lightning until I was 12 (I thought it was just a non-localized white flash).

Very nice. You're living the dream!
Cool! I have pictures of a double rainbow over Damascus, but never seen a triple. But the double was worth it by itself. Now I have something to look forward to and hope to see a triple. Is it possible to have four?
I remember great lightning displays over the ocean at H. Beach.
Yer place looks really nice! I'm looking forward to visiting!
@ Toomas.
Are those pictures in digital format? I used to live in Damascus and would love to see those pictures!
Double rainbows are a bit more common here in North Queensland. Maybe it's got something to do with the angle of the sun as you get closer to the equator, or something (we're just a bit north of the Tropic of Capricorn).
I have seen triples, but the top one is rarely complete - it's usually a very faint echo of a rainbow, with only a few places where you can actually see there is a rainbow there.
You don't see the doubles all the time but, usually, when there's the right combination of light and water in the air for one complete, strong rainbow, there's another, fainter rainbow sitting above it.
Colm, look forward to it.
I should mention that Toomas is talking about Damascus, Virginia. They go crazy with the Old - or I guess in this case New - Testament place names in some of those mountain hollows. It's a very laid-back town of about 1,000.
Oh...thanks Kris for the tip!
