And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
coastal NC, huge panoramic view of a storm west of us , miles away. pronounced rain column quite visible dead center and a rainbow arced across all of it.
One winter, I was in Norway rigging an oil search ship, and 5 or 6 of these passed over me that day, but with snow rather than rain. I could see them approaching from several miles away, giving me time to climb down from the mast platform, where I was rigging antennae. I thought it was great.
Saw alot of this down in the Gulf when I was still ACDU. In daytime you could see them from miles away, coming towards you. At night, the only indication would be if it was lightning
Seen exactly the same situation in Florida - standing on my front porch and couldn't see the house across the street for the rain....
