Sun, Rain, Rainbows, Crows, Lightning, Thunder, Full Moon Swimming

I get to the pool a couple hours before dark and it's been warm and sunny all day, not a cloud in the sky. I'm swimming for a half-hour - 45 and getting good sun, and a fast moving rain cloud comes in and drops some water. A half-hour later one of the best rainbows I have ever seen drapes the entire eastern sky for a half hour. A faint rainbow fights to appear above the brilliant rainbow but never quite makes it. Half the sky is an eerie orange glow and makes one think of the atmosphere on planet Venus. The other half of the sky is a mixture of clouds, some dark, and dimmed sunlight. The entire sky appears low and surreal. It reminds me of the fake skies one sees in various Las Vegas casinos but 1,000 times better, and no more real. A flock of crows dots the entire ceiling and then disappears. Meanwhile, I try to keep my swimming going. The sun has still not set and I think I see a couple flashes of lightning on the distant southward horizon in the direction I am swimming. Fifteen minutes pass and I see a wicked loop of electricity in the sky above. Then the thunder. Another fifteen or so minutes and I'm swimming in darkness. The morons running the pool can't set the timer right despite repeated complaints so I'm swimming in the dark again. I drop backstroke out of my rotation after hitting my head on the side. Now I'm just doing free and fly. As I'm fly swimming the entire completely dark pool lights up off a nasty bolt of lightning. Lots more multi-tiered lightning dances in the sky and booming thunder follows. It's now hours later and I'm hearing a LOT of exploding thunder yet as I type this. Oh, ... the full moon was at the Monday night football game when I got home. They were commenting on the moon (I think it is at its closest and biggest right now) and how hot it was on the field (100º)). I don't watch much football so I switched the station and the news was about the threatening hurricane off Florida which puts things in perspective.
