That's about the equivalent of winning the powerball from an odds standpoint!

And the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are roughly equivalent to being struck by lightning while being attacked by a shark! :biggrin:

Yes,

I saw this same thing while getting my camera setup to shoot a double rainbow. I was about 5 seconds short of catching the lightning.

So here is the next higher challenge - to catch a lightning bolt through a double rainbow in a scenic location. :eek:

What are the odds of that??? :jump:
