Texas tornado pics
God sure does make 'em big out there! I can imagine what my reaction would be, to be on that rig, but I can't write that here!
Oil Rig Picture - TX - Apr.3.2008 TEXAS TORNADO
When the lightning flashes, this is not what you want to see.
Taken Thursday night, April 3, 2008.
Lariat # 2 – Sandridge Energy Rig, South of Ft Stockton , TX
Moderator cut: please include as a link instead of in import if this is not your own photo (copyright issues). Thanks.

Impressive! Is that a frame of video or just a well-timed photo?

This picture of a tornado and lightning stroke over Lake Okeechobee was taken at about 10 PM on June 15, 1991. The photograph was taken by Mr. Fred Smith. |

Might be impressive to some (if it were real), but after having the F5 (that was a quarter mile wide) come through town, not so much.

I've seen that picture somewhere before, without the oil rig. I think the pic was taken in Florida over a decade ago.
