Stuff is always bigger in Texas... I travel through Denver, Colorado, Roswell, New Mexico, Carlsbad, New Mexico, Pecos, Texas on my way to Alpine, Texas. In west Texas I come across the biggest, brightest rainbow I've ever seen!
But that feature is definately a bit of what we call a "Mothership" in Storm Chaser Lingo. Nice little Supercell there in that rainbow sequence for sure! Wish I could have been there to see that :)
Interesting feature there as well around the 7:05 mark to the Right of the rainbow, you will notice kind of a lowered cloud base with a pretty healthy rain shaft there. Did you notice if it had any rotation in it? If it did, you may have actually got a wall cloud on video. Wall clouds are the features that tornadoes can drop out of.
That is in fact a rain curtain that you are seeing around the 5 min mark. It looks like it might be a little bit of what we call a dryline type shower/t-storm. During the right conditions, true Dryline Supercells can become quite tornadic, particulary East of there
it's so intense...what does it mean?

Neat rainbow.

Oh and the rain coming down like that isn't the least bit rare in West Texas/Eastern New Mexico.
