I saw a double rainbow almost directly overhead. About 120 degrees of
arc was visible for both the first and second rainbow. Trees blocked any
chance of seeing if a third was present. It was about 3pm yesterday.
(Providence, RI if the location matters.)

What is the optical path that makes this happen?
