The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
Nature
As a child, I can remember the summertime rainstorms that would
occur during the day. While the sun would still shine, it would
been raining cats and dogs. It was a very beautiful, but strange
sight to see to two phenomena going on at the same time. My Aunt
would always say when that happened the devil was beating his wife.
If a rainbow appeared, then she'd say that they have made up.
