No I didnt take it. It was Handed out at a pushers meeting and I took it to CVS had it put on a disk and Presto Here it is. I dont know what stories are floating around I only was told only one by the Pusher. I also had it made into a picture that is Poster size and it is hanging in my Living room. Whatever the story really is, It's is still a BAD A** picture
The original picture I saw had a time and date stamp on it. I had it edited out because I was hanging it for display. The lady that edited it for me at CVS said I could sell the picture but I didnt take it so I didnt bother. I figured it was floating around somewhere
I hate to bust ya'lls bubbles ,but this here picture is fabricated. It has been photo-shopped and the twister has been imported into the pic. The rig and the lightning is real and the twister is real also but not in this pic at this time. No debris or cows are flying around... if it was real , can you imagine the look on the tool pushers' face looking out the cabin... " OH SH*T" ... haha
I would be less quick to dismiss it as a photoshop due to the lack of debris. As a photoshopper myself if this was chopped someone is either very patient or very skilled because that lightning is highlighting the tornado very realistically. Real or not that's a crazy photo wouldn't want to be there!
I've never seen ligthning strike that close to a twister, then again I've only seen a few twisters up here in Michigan.
What do oil rigs do during hurricanes? I know they are designed to withstand them but what about the unfortunate souls left on the rig.
People that pic was taken in west texas, the cows there are 1 to a thousand acres, there is a good chance there were no cows around, maybe a lizard or two, and one tumble weed.
Now I have the awsome pic posted by one of our members who evedintly has some awsome photography skills as well. I have it as a desktop here at work and the rig on my personal laptop.
