Evan Bindelglass of WCBS spotted a rainbow over the Hudson River yesterday, noting: "this is what I saw from Fort Lee, NJ. If you look closely, you can actually see a second rainbow in some of the photos." Which is a pretty unenthusiastic response compared to the now famous double rainbow reaction from Paul Vasquez (aka the Yosemitebear Mountain Giant). However, he does give us a reason to finally post that video (and after the jump, a parody featuring the KFC Double Down).
Vasquez recently discussed the double rainbow he saw in an interview, saying: "You could feel the rays, like of the sun, but it was rainbow rays!” No word yet from Bindelglass on whether or not he felt these magic rainbow rays...
