Hoax Weather Photos Part Deux
Posted by Dan Satterfield
I wrote a post a while back entitled “How To Make Your Local Weather Person Very Happy“. It was about all of these hoax weather photos going around on the internet. Evey Meteorologist I know gets these by the dozen, from well intentioned friends and viewers.
We aired a story on this last night. It was fun to put together, and we even interviewed the guy who took the famous water spout and lightning photo. (It was not a tornado)
You can see it by clicking on the image below. Our web content producer Claire Aiello produced the piece.
