Photo: Hope in the Midst of the Storm (Rainbow over Irvine)

As many of you know, southern California was hit with a string of powerful El Nino storms this past week.  On Friday I left work for my lunch hour and found myself face to face with this complete rainbow.  By the end of my lunch hour, the rain had returned and I was dodging hailstones from my car to the office.  But for one brief moment, the sun was out and the day looked a little brighter.
