The shot may very well be fake, but there's little doubt that a similar scene has taken place many times across the state of Texas. With the frequency of severe weather here in Texas and the number of oil and gas rigs statewide, along with the lightning strikes, it doesn't take much of an imagination to believe that a similar scene had played out on several occasions.
"A" for effort though Bogus George. :lol:

Without pics, it never happened. With pics, still maybe not! 
Sure is a nice clear night to have all that wind blowin'!

As phony as my neighbor's new rack.
Any one who has been close to a tornado will confirm that not only can you hear it but you feel the air pressure changing, as well as all the available air rushing towards the cone. Absolutely an altered photo but great post, thanx for the entertainment. :lol:
Notice the man on the platform (white t-shirt blue hard hat) and what appears to be a very limp flag to the left of him?

I've been close enough to tornadoes (specifically on an early morning in April of '91 outside Tonkawa, OK) to know that if you're outside, it would be very difficult to be "unaware" that something serious is going on. Tornadoes are NOT quiet! :shock:CA-35 said:

Cool picture. But, I've seen it before, in different ways.
