I have to say, if I'd seen that, I wouldn't have known which way to soil my drawers first.

Typical Texans watching and taking pictures rather than taking cover.

I lived about 120 miles North of Fort Stockton, and I have to say, Texas had some of the most insane weather I had ever seen in my life. Lightning, where I lived on the border of Oklahoma, wasn't just one branch. It was thousands that traveled miles and miles through the entire sky, and filled it.
We watched on a lightning storm night from our porch in Pottsboro Texas, the lightning hitting so fast and hard that it looked like daylight, and a tornado off in the distance heading towards Whitesboro. They were regular occurrence's and oddly enough, usually never amounted to damage. -

Oklahoma must run a close second to Texas...Back in mid fifties I was stationed in Norman Oklahoma and a pal and I left the barracks one balmy evening,carless, in weather that would be considered 'summer' in some places up north,to go to the EM club for the bingo festivities.When we walked out three hours later it was our misfortune to step into freezing rain and snow with a temp of around 32 degrees or less and a howling wind (worst part),no coats of course,and about a quarter mile walk back to the barracks.We thought that our bodies would be found frozen to the blacktop road coated with a coating of crystal ice in the morning. Damn wonder we didn't get frostbite.Out there in that neck of the woods in the Spring and Fall, I'd say better carry that coat (waterproof) with you on that outing. Don't wanna carry it? Get a backpack

As a real Texan (Dallas), I hate to have to educate all of you gullible folks. But you really should check your facts, particularly the person who posted this image and claims this photo (with an oil rig in front of the tornado and lightning), is real. It's a hoax.
The tornado and lightning portion is real (captured in 1991 in Florida) but the oil rig was photoshopped in 19 years later it seems.
see the following link for the REAL story behind the image:

As a real 10 gallon Texan, you might oughta add about a pint of 'tact-son' to the mix to help you lighten up on us 'gullible' ones....The fact that the picture may be photoshopped doesn't change the fact that the plains (southern & northern) have very dangerous and unpredictable weather, like the time the temp dropped about 70 degrees in an hour in Sioux City on one occasion, and I have read plenty of other horror stories of dramatic weather events that were deadly and mind boggling....The Oklahoma story was true and actually not at all unique, it's just that I was there only a few weeks in the spring and by NO means saw the worst that Ma nature had to offer....Well, you're in the right place to catch weather hell...Brace yourself.
