Do y'all remember that picture that was posted several times on the hurricane thread of the tanker ship with that monster cloud ahead of it?
Well, one of the Charlotte tv stations is inviting people to send in hurricane pictures and they are posting them in slideshows. Someone sent them that picture and another one of the edge of a huge super-cell cloud. The captions to each said something like "Joe Blow [name made up to protect the guilty] sent in this picture from Wake Forest."
For those who don't know, there are two Wake Forests in NC ..... one a small town near Raleigh, the other a university that moved decades ago from the small town from which it derived its name and is now much farther west in Winston-Salem ..... both are well inland and not near any body of water even close to large enough to float such a ship. I started ROFL when I saw the pics.
I sent an email to the station telling them they had been had ...... the picture seemed to be legit but it certainly wasn't from Isabel nor from either Wake Forest .... and it had been all over the internet the day before. I've kept checking the site all day and I see that they've finally changed the captions to "This picture was sent in by Joe Blow" though they are still including the photos in their slideshows.
