This photo is BS. the photograph of the tornado and lightning has been around for a few years now. and the power plant or whatever that is, is a totally different photo. a little bit more time on photoshop may have helped your cause though. but over all its FAKE

PHOTO WITH OIL RIG IN FOREGROUND IS A PHOTOSHOP HOAX…GO TO:
http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/sedalia.asp FOR THE REAL STORY ON THE TWISTER/LIGHTNING IMAGE WHICH WAS CAPTURED IN FLORIDA BACK IN 1991.
WHOMEVER MODIFIED THE IMAGE AND TRIED TO PASS THIS OFF AS IN RECENTLY TAKEN SOMEWHERE IN TEXAS (BY ADDING AN OIL RIG IN FRONT OF IT) MUST NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE ABILITY TO VERIFY SUCH CLAIMS USING THE GOOD OLE WEB.
TOO BAD FOR YOU, PRANKSTER!

I thought it looked questionable but couldn’t find anything on it. Had you seen this photo before? I am curious what path you took in finding the listed Snopes article. Thanks for your comment and source attribution.

Awww! Well, at least I know the oil rig exists. I was there that day, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Still, it would be a cool, if scary, thing to see, wouldn’t it?
