Tornadoes over the weekend

A friend of mine posted this photo on his FB page claiming it was the tornado that touched down in Paulding County, GA last Friday night.

How far from you is that? Eerie but fascinating photo, though....

That is an amazing photo! Hard to say I "like" it due to the death and devastation caused by it, but the photo itself is truly superb.

It's about 30 miles from me.

Ive never seen a tornado in person only a funnel cloud and that alone scared me shitless. We don't really experience things like this in the mountains but this is proof that no one is safe just because of their location

WARNING: I am about to burst your doomsday bubble for all you doomsdayers out there--

There have been about 514 Leap Years since Caesar created it in 45BC. With the extra day every four years, today would be July 28, 2013. Also, Mayan calendar did not account for Leap Year... So technically, the world should have ended seven months ago.

Your thoughts, you guys?

Indiana was hard hit, too. We were driving in Kentucky and Indiana on Friday, and just missed a tornado, or maybe one just missed us, I don't know.

Karissa, I don't really believe in the Mayan calendar stuff, no matter when the 'correct' date is supposed to be.

Ok ... I google goggled the image I posted and it is NOT a tornado - my friend was just kidding with me. As embarrassing as it is, I just wanted to clear this up now.

It was a volcanic eruption and the picture belongs to National Geographic. Sorry about that.

Are you sure it is not photoshopped?

It is volcanic lightning and the picture belongs to National Geographic - it is not a tornado. Here is the link:

Oh, wow. It took place in Chile. I didn't know Chile has a volcano. That's something new for me to learn.

I didn't know volcanic eruptions could cause lightning - so I guess we both learned something.
