   Summary Authors:  Neven Tandaric;  Jim Foster
   The photo at top shows the approach of a nasty thunderstorm over
    Zagreb, Croatia, as observed on September 11, 2022. Note that the
    precipitation shaft associated with this  storm cell is quite
   obvious and is likely an indication of  strong winds.

   The bottom photo shows a beautiful high-arching  rainbow that could
   be seen as the storm departed. A portion of the  secondary rainbow
   is clearly visible at upper right. This fainter bow results from a
   second internal reflection in the raindrops. The darker strip of sky
   between the primary and secondary bows is known as  Alexander's Dark
   Band.

   Zagreb, Croatia Coordinates: 45.7974397, 15.9399371
