Explanation: Yes, but can your rainbow do this? After the remnants of Hurricane Florence passed over the Jersey Shore, New Jersey, USA in 2018, the Sun came out in one direction but something quite unusual appeared in the opposite direction: a hall of rainbows. Over the course of a next half hour, to the delight of the photographer and his daughter, vibrant supernumerary rainbows faded in and out, with at least five captured in this featured single shot. Supernumerary rainbows only form when falling water droplets are all nearly the same size and typically less than a millimeter across. Then, sunlight will not only reflect from inside the raindrops, but interfere, a wave phenomenon similar to ripples on a pond when a stone is thrown in. In fact, supernumerary rainbows can only be explained with waves, and their noted existence in the early 1800s was considered early evidence of light's wave nature.

Ridge vents are better than gable vents, but having both is even worse, which is what it looks like here.
Showing just how queer NJ is
That is beautiful!
Hope double rainbow-guy doesn’t see this. He’d stroke out.
Amazing! Thanks for posting!
Leave to the late, great, bassist for The Who to have taken a picture like this!
LOL - VERY late, I'd wager, since this pic was taken in 2018, and Entwhistle the great bassist passed away (RIP Ox) in 2002.
Then again, I wouldn't put it past him to do something suitably haunting....
The gable vents let the air in, the ridge vents let it out. You need both.
Gorgeous! :)
“The gable vents let the air in, the ridge vents let it out. You need both.”
True, but that’s a short circuit. Much better is soffit vents to let air in, and even better are brick vents (or equivalent), plus soffit vents. In both cases, air will run against the roof, heat up, and go out the ridge vent.
Late to the party, but...
This is only natural progression: as more & more “gender expressions” are dreamed up, the rainbow has to expand to accommodate them.
Anything less would indicate hate, from upon High.
