Nice captures. Would that be considered a roll cloud?

Subject: [NatureNS] Last Evening's Weather

I thought the weather last evening was quite dramatic. As the second period=
 of heavy rain began to move out, about 5:45 PM, it was obvious that condit=
ions were perfect for a rainbow. It was still raining hard but the low sun =
was shining almost clear from the SW. Sure enough, we had great views of a =
complete bow (and some double) that reached the ground on both ends. I have=
 two photos.

This seems to have been sort of a false end to the system. The sky had comp=
letely cleared but then, at 6:35 PM, as I drove down the Gaspereau Valley W=
 of Gaspereau, I noticed another couple stopped, photographing the sky. Kud=
os to them ! I looked back over my right shoulder and noticed this massive =
horizon-to-horizon cloud front moving down the Valley W to E. I pulled off =
and got 3 shots on an iPhone. They only begin to capture how dramatic this =
was. I suspect it was dozens of km long, N to S, and was moving very quickl=
y. It swept down the Valley from the photo location, to directly over us, i=
n something like a minute. The wind picked up very quickly. If this had bee=
n anywhere W of Quebec, I might have been headed for a ditch or a cellar. I=
 have two photos following the rainbow photos.
