I got this email today and thought I would share it with you all. If this pic is for real it is the most amazing shot I have ever seen.

When the lightning flashes, this is NOT what you want to see.


THIS IS A PICTURE THAT SOMEONE TOOK WHO WORKS ON AN OIL RIG.

HE WAS GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE LIGHTNING AND WAS

UNAWARE OF THE TORNADO UNTIL THE LIGHTNING ILLUMINATED IT.

This is a one-in-a-million photo................

WOW!!! He must have a really fast shutter on his camera, huh?! That lightening was huge, too! not to mention that scary tornado! It's something we always fear here in the spring in Oklahoma. Thanks for posting this cool shot savant365!! regards, sandcreek4

The lightening and tornado are real, just not the oil rig. Still an incredible picture

Even being a hoax it still is a fantastic couple of shots! It is feasible tornado's we saw years ago 3 in row the only way we saw the outline was cause of lightening!
