A friend just emailed this to me with this message. Anyone have more details about this shot?


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

HE WANTED TO GET A SHOT OF THE LIGHTNING THAT WAS FLASHING BY.

HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE TORNADO UNTIL THE LIGHTNING ILLUMINATED IT.

This has been called a one-in-a-million photo; taken south of Ft. Stockton , Texas .

Too bad it was a fake.
