Amazing Image

[Glenn Dawes]

Hi guys,

This is doing the email rounds at my work.

This was the text that went with this incredible image:

*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.

Regards

Glenn

Amazing pic. I assume that the photographer wasn' injured. Steel undies required all round (galvanised of course) - or would rubber ones be safer.

Hi Glenn,

Incredible indeed, but alas it's a false image.

The original, genuine one is pretty dramatic too!

Woweee, that's scary stuff. Awesome, but scary.

Downright frightening I'd say
