OT Way OT - Fire in the sky
I am trying to catch up on all my emails (a losing battle -
LOL) and came across this. It's a few weeks old but . . . . .. spectacular. Did anyone see this? When did it really happen? http://tinyurl.com/rvawy This blanket of fire, covering hundreds of square miles, is the rarest phenomenon of them all. It was spotted in the US on the Washington-Idaho border around midday last Saturday. Dr Jonathan Fox, of the US National Weather Service in Spokane, Washington, said: 'It was even more spectacular than the Northern Lights. I feel lucky to have seen it because it only forms in very rare situations. This is the first one I've ever seen. It was a breathtaking sight and it hung around for about an hour.' To create a rainbow of fire, clouds must be at least 20,000 ft high and the ice crystal s within them align horizontally instead of their usual vertical po! sition. The sun also needs to be at least 58 degrees above the horizon. Then, the magic can begin. -- Cheryl & the Cats _ _ _ _ _ _ ( Y ) ( Y ) ( Y ) ~ ~ ~ Enness Boofhead Donut Now in hibernation with a wake-up call for Spring! http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest catsatararatATyahooDOTcomDOTau |

I didn't see that but I have seen a similar phenomenon.......... In fact the
picture I got was of a rainbow contrail. In the PNW (Pacific North West) of the US, it's and indication of a storm coming. The rainbow effect is from ice crystals in the atmosphere. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Cats" wrote in message ...

We saw this phenonomen and it was beautiful. My DH and I were on a train
ride through the Payette River Canyon in Central Idaho that day. I took lots of pictures. The actual name is "circumhorizon arc." For some really neat pictures of this and lots of other sky "pictures' click on http://www.sundog.clara.co.uk/halo/chaim0.htm.
