But, that particular picture looks quite Photoshop'd. I invested 30 seconds Google'ing and did not find an original source for the photo.

The sky to the right of the rainbow is not the same sky on the left. You do get sharp shadows at the edge of thunderstorms where bright rainbows form, but it doesn't look like that. As for the colors in the funnel, optics just don't work that way.
