Lowest rainbow ever seen on Greenhills Road



2007-08-28 - Greenhills Road, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ricky Bault.
Interesting times, strange climate we live in When Ricky Bault saw this rainbow between his porch on McKinley Street off Fairground Street and parallel to Greenhills Road, he said it was the lowest one he'd ever seen. The rainbow's top appears to be below and in front of the trees by Sulphur Hole on Rusell Creek, and it would appear that the pot of gold on the right would be right at, or on, Orby Yarberry's Produce Store, and the other leg would seem to fall on top of Gobbler's Knob across Bull Run. The storm Saturday afternoon took its toll on Ricky and Mitzi Bautl's beautiful flower garden and their banana plants. Fay McKinley, Mitzi's mother, said that the hail almost covered the ground, "But you could still see some grass," she said. She said that the storm's wind and rain pasted leaves to windows and the side of the house so tightly they had to be swept away with a broom. "It's strange enough weather that you begin to feel Al Gore may be right about our weather," she said.

Starting Friday we have Halloween. Halloween is rated R and will play nightly at 6:00 and 8:00pm CT and Sunday at 2:00 and 4:00pm CT only.

This movie is a followup to the classic 1978 "Halloween" by John Carpenter. The movie starting Friday is a re-imagining of that film and is by Rob Zombie. He has made horror films such as "The Devil's Rejects" and "House of 1000 Corpses." It is an entirely new film, written by Rob Zombie, but based on the 1978 screenplay by John Carpenter.
