| _____________________________________ [Sep 19,2003 8:11am - RustedAngel ""] aaron people are saying that this picture is photoshopped like i thought. "What's more amazing than the picture of the storm is the photoshop skills of the person who made this image! Amazing how it seemed to have fooled so many people, even tech tv aired it today - lol." |

I hope it's not something obvious because then I will feel dumb No one, i am just some callow fool that lives in massachusetts. About the picture, I am not sure if it was photoshopped or not. But it is curious that there are no waves... |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 19,2003 4:11pm - RustedAngel ""] somebody also wrote that they have been on cruise ships, and that you wouldn't want to be within 100 miles of a hurricane. there aren't even enough clouds surrounding that for it to be real. jesus, that hurricane was down in NC and it was still cloudy way the hell up here. |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 20,2003 9:15am - RustedAngel ""] most people are saying it is a hoax. I think it is also... probably graphic design project for someone in school. a few people have claimed to see this picture a year ago. I wouldn't be suprised if we saw this picture on the Ripleys believe it or not 'Spot the Not' quiz sometime soon. :yoda: |

I wouldn't be suprised if we saw this picture on the Ripleys believe it or not 'Spot the Not' quiz sometime soon. :yoda: Yea but it isnt quite obvious enough (it fooled most of us didnt it?). Those quizzes are always horribly, painfully obvious. Like the one with a cow whose fur is a replica of a map of Earth. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 20,2003 4:54pm - xmikex ""] Hey fuck you guys, look at this ACTUAL photograph of the storm as seen by ACTUAL people [img] I remind you that this picture is REAL and has not been doctored or modified in any way shape or form. RUN FOR YOUR FUCKING LIVES! IT KILLED GEORGE CLOONEY! |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 20,2003 5:21pm - RustedAngel ""] chriiiist, now that is unreal. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 9:37am - the_reverend ""] chrost now that was a shitty movie |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 22,2003 8:51am - RustedAngel ""] From snopes.com http://snopes.com/photos/isabel.asp Origins: Meteorologists (including Dr. Steve Lyons, the Weather Channel's hurricane expert) agree that the photos displayed above are not pictures of any hurricane at all, much less Hurricane Isabel, which struck the eastern United States in September 2003 — they depict shelf clouds or wall clouds typically associated with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes rather than hurricanes, and the water in the first picture appears too smooth for the area of an approaching hurricane. (Even if these images did depict the approach of a hurricane, they're too old to be photographs of Hurricane Isabel — these same pictures were circulating as photographs of Hurricane Claudette back in July 2003 and of CycloneIndigo in April 2003.) Some believe the photographs to have been taken in the midwestern U.S. or Great Lakes region, although at least one source identifies the first image as being a picture of Tropical Cyclone Graham, which hit northwest Australia in February 2003. |
