At about 7:47 the sun began to peak from behind the storm clouds in the West Northwest and for the briefest moment we had a complete double rainbow. The winds, rain and sand were such that we couldn't get out of the car for a picture, so I rolled down the window and caught a few. We went W on Hwy 114 trying to escape the sandblasting and see what was going on. I turned onto a side road to observe facing North, but once again we were hit by strong winds and sand. I went to get back onto the road and was praying I wouldn't get hit as visibilities were horrible.

7:51pm

We went west a bit more then went back to take some pictures of the impressive cloud structure of the storm. When the sun began to set it was absolutely breathtaking!
