    Air looks awfully clean around that twister. No figure that the tornado's winds ARE moving fast, but its edges look dull, as do the cloud's. Considering the speed of a lightning flash compare to a twister, the twister is considerably slower. Now with the type speed it would take to get a lightning flash like that on camera, shouldn't the twister be considerably sharper of an image if indeed taken with the same camera or frame. Not a photography expert by FAR. The side of the oil rig the lightning is on isnt lit up from the flash of the lightning, nor is there a shadow from the equipment in the picture, from the lightning flast. Just some thoughts.

    Very cool image tho. Photoshopped or not.

    good call uncle, I was suspecious, that's interesting that this is not the first time someone has used that tornado to try and pass it off as something recent.
