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

This picture was taken by an oil rig worker. He was going to take a picture of the lightning and was unaware of the tornado until the lightning illuminated it.

This is a one-in-a-million photo:

Check it out on snopes.com

It has been digitally altered, and it happened in 1991 in Florida.

Yes photo shopped, the oil rigged was digitally added.

At the bottom of the article at snopes it states the oil rig was digitally added, also posts link to original pic.
