Single rainbow all the way!

If you haven’t seen the ridiculously popular double rainbow video, go check it out first and then come back to appreciate these tweets. There were a few rainbows – of the single and double variety – spotted in Southern California over the past two days. Some photo-sharing Twitter users made reference to the aforementioned video. Let’s start with Jordan Cathey (@jscathey) of Rancho Cucamonga who summarized it best when she tweeted “single rainbow across the sky, almost a double rainbow! So intense and vivid. What does this mean?!” and posted this picture.

Fog turns SoCal into Exorcist poster

Nope, these aren’t images from the movie “The Exorcist”. They’re nighttime counterparts of the two foggy days we’ve seen this week in Southern California. Beautiful but scary, if you ask me. I’ll take the advice of Louie Chen of San Diego. He shared this picture and cautioned “Beware of fog monsters!”

Here are more foggy nocturnal images recently shared by Southern Californians on Twitter.

Two foggy days in Californ-i-a

Southern Californians are used to a marine layer along the coast, but full-blown fog is rare enough that we whip out our cellies to take pix and tweet them to the world. Just last night, Kevin (kevie) C from San Marcos shared this haunting image of “super thick fog downtown la pretty sweet.” Oh, and if you’re wondering about the title of this blog post, just Google it.
