and my friend shared it with the comment, "Not a doctored up photo. Have you ever seen such a sight in your LIFE!!!"
Not one to believe everything I read, I went searching for Fox Five in Georgia, and I did find this photo on their site. But when I clicked on it, I found a comment that said it was an old photo, not of a tornado from last night's storms, but of a volcano erupting. The commenter said that he had used the same picture in a video more than a year ago. I don't know if this is the video he was referring to, but I did find a video that uses this photo, and it was posted in November.
So, maybe it's not a doctored photo - except that it was cropped - but it's also not a photo of a tornado in Georgia last night.
Still a very cool photo! And did you know that volcanic eruptions are accompanied by lightning? I didn't. Then again, I've never seen a volcano erupt. I did, however, watch this video while I was on YouTube:
How cool is that?
As I was writing this post, I went back to the Fox Five news website, and I could no longer find the photo - so it looks like it's been removed. There are enough photos of the weather and storm damage. Why someone felt the need to post this particular photo and claim that it's something it's not is beyond me.
