| My friend Rick in his E-mail to me said
THIS IS A PICTURE THAT LESIA CASANOVA'S HUSBAND TOOK IN THE GULF OF
MEXICO
HE WORKS ON AN OIL RIG AND DURING A STORM HE WAS GOING TO TAKE A
PICTURE OF THE LIGHTNING.
HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE TORNADO UNTIL THE LIGHTNING ILLUMINATED IT.
PRETTY AWESOME, HUH?
This is a one-in-a-million photo..............Rick | |

| Neat picture but I bet it's photoshopped
Check out the night sky around the derrick, different color and you can see
squares of different color, a pretty good indication it's been "altered"
either way I try and not ride in either.
Prefer hurricanes. | |

'Sides the fact that it is over water. Therefore. It isn't a tornado, but a waterspout. Somewhat like a tornado, but over water. Unless of course the oil derrick is just off shore... 
Ooooopsie.... Just noticed on the closeup that the derrick is on land... Oooopsie!!!

| Worst thing in Las Vegas besides the summer heat is the occasional heavy winds. Had some 70 mph winds earlier this year knock down some old sheds a couple of doors down.
Marc..rain..what's that? Oh..where is the tag-line pic of your bike taken? Looks like a cove I've been to down by Coos Bay. | |

| I bought a house that had been partly torn down by a tornado. I told the wife about the scene in the movie "According to Garp" when the airplane hit the house they were thinking of buying...he looks at the plane hanging out of the house and says "we'll take it" then looks at his wife and says "what are the odds of that ever happening again?" House is still standing!! | |

In our travels around Coos Bay we found some really interesting area, parks and restaurants. | |
