Recently received this picture from my brother who is in the oil "bidness". Not something you want to see at night when the lightening flashes.

PhotoShopped, I think. I’ve seen the tornado/lightning part of the image before, no oil facility involved.

Google for images using tornado +lightning. You’ll see dozens of images, all framed the same. No rig.

Now, where was that kind of weather when I was getting married both times? When I really could have used it?
