Only the oil rig is faked into the picture. Whether or not such a piddling little structure gets destroyed or not seems rather unscary to me. On the other hand, the tornado/lightning part of the image is very real- and seeing that should scare anybody close enough to witness it in person!

<<Fred Smith says he's not a professional photographer but he was taking lightning photos from his back yard on June 15, 1993 when he got this lucky shot of a large waterspout on Lake Okeechobee, Florida. The photo was taken about 10:00 at night.>>
