Rainbow

The thunder rumbled. Outside the sky was as black as coal, the clouds hung low; dark and foreboding. The warm morning breeze had become icy wind, howling for all its worth. The houses on top of the hill had disappeared. Then it started to fall, heavy blocks of ice, crashing down on the ground. Although they were tiny ice droplets, they made torrential noise. Then, rain fell, beating down on the ground. Minutes later, colours enveloped the sky. Blue, green, yellow, violet, red and orange fired out of the ice droplets, painting the earth until all was bright again.
