When the lightning flashes, this is NOT what you want to see.

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

HE WAS GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE LIGHTNING AND WAS UNAWARE OF THE TORNADO UNTIL THE LIGHTNING ILLUMINATED IT.

Taken Thursday night, April 3, 2008 ..
Lariat Sandridge Energy
South of Ft. Stockton , TX .

I would have run the other way very fast after that

You've made a bit of an error with this

If it's going diagonally, what direction has it come from?
