New Yorkers had to take cover for a little while as some heavy rain moved through the city during the evening, but what came afterwards made it all worthwhile. 

A rainbow popped up across the tri-state area after the storm moved out. 

The stunning view of it gleaming near the empire state building sent plenty of people posting videos and pictures of the rainbow on their social media accounts.

Here at NY1, we were fortunate enough to catch the whole thing on video, and it makes for a dazzling timelapse.
