WRAL WeatherCenter Blog : Nor'easter or sub-tropical storm? Some friends and I were on the outer banks (Portsmouth Island) from May 5th until May 8th.

Both hers and mine were seen after a tornado event. Significance? The other type was on the golf course, with the sun behind our backs on a dewy morning. There were two rainbows radiating from our feet both left and right. EAch of us saw their own rainbows. Interesting? Unusual?
