Picture From Oil Rig

[Rackcrawler]

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

THIS IS A PICTURE THAT SOMEONE TOOK WHO WORKS ON AN OIL RIG. HE WAS GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE LIGHTNING AND WAS UNAWARE OF THE TORNADO UNTIL THE LIGHTNING ILLUMINATED IT.

That is the scariest little red X I have ever seen.

Yah its photoshopped. First of all the flags on the oil rig arent flapping in the wind. Go to your search engine and type in lightning tornado then click images, You will see the real picture with no oil rig.
Just shows to go ya. you cant believe everything you see on the internet.

Thats the truth I saw one being cut up into scrap iron the other day. Pretty tough times for us oilfield folks right now. It's gonna come back in a big way here soon. At least thats what I keep hearing.

It goes like this:
LORD let there be another oil well drilling Boom and I promise not to F#CK this one up.

Gator: ROFDL! I only had my rigs up the last 2 1/2 years of the boom. If I coulda only had 1 1/2 more years I'd have been set. WTF! Now I cant get loans cuz supposedly the oilfield is a bad investment? So how the heck am I suppose to expand? If bankers only had a little bit of an imagination I could make em all rich! Oh well. Guess I'll just be content with what I've got for the next 8 years. maybe sooner is someone unexpectedly leaves office. lol

I spent two weeks in a lookout tower one summer, covering for the regular guy who had a family emergency. They forgot to tell me about the possibility of lightning strikes. One night a thunder storm rolled in and the tower got hit by a lightning bolt. I thought I was a gonner! I know what electricity smells like now!

I got on the radio and explained my situation, I'm sure with the sound of fear in my voice. I could hear all the laughing in the background as they explaind to me about lightning rods and how they keep you from getting fried. Plicks......
