Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Horizontal lightening

A while ago, I saw something that would have been quite beautiful if it were not such a sign of dark times to come.
I was walking with my fiancee, during the day time, it was sunny and warm, but raining, and we saw a double rainbow, one on top of the other, not a faint shadow, like you sometimes see, but fully colored bright rainbows.
Then lightening darted from two clouds, under the arc of the rainbow, from one side to the other, it was really strange, it went from one cloud, horizontally through the rainbows arch, to another cloud.
Quite beautiful, or it would have been, but the meaning behind it just gave me the creeps instead.
What could be the physical cause of horizontal lightening like this, its not a common omen, but it has been seen before I think, its definately the only time, fortunately, that I have seen it myself?
Non omnis moriar, tenebris e lumen.
