My friends and I chased this storm from north of Ellinwood to Salina KS following it on highway 156 and 140. there was storm chasers following this storm. we saw up to 20 cars ahead of us on highway 140. You know you're on the right storm when there's tons of chasers everywhere and the DOW (doppler on wheels), from OK. 5-8-21.
After the beastly supercell moved on, we were left with a double rainbow more clear than I've ever seen one. It was a beautiful sight, and yes, the light really was like that - I didn't change the colouring whatsoever!
