I was there and have awesome video to prove what this storm was actually like. What you are seeing in the photo in one incredible surfaced base Mesocylone, that had a very nice wall cloud. However, this storm never produced a tornado, but a couple of very brief funnel clouds. Nothing more.. Sorry, BUT THIS PHOTO IS REAL AND NOT PHOTOSHOPED.

Not of a tornado though, tornadoes are thin and whispy. If this "cloud" was a hundred times bigger it might look like hurricane center, but its just a thunderstorm.

So unreal looking that they could not use it in the movie "Twister" as viewers would call such a device "Hollywood special effects". Some of them look like a "mother ship", like a UFO. Quite a meteorological package of severe weather that can last a long time and travel quite a distance.

Just a good picture of a thunderstorm. Before you criticize "naysayers" you should do some research yourself to find out what part of a thunderstorm a real tornado comes out of. AND, look closely for nonexistent rotation in this picture. CNN should be ashamed for not doing any checking whatsoever on their own part.

Does anyone really think that that much time was taken to "photoshop (?)" this startlingly scary photo so that we could all marvel at the bravery or stupidity of the photographer to take such a shot? I wonder if most of the naysayers are more impressed with their own sharp eyes and want others to know of that or persons of integrity articulating that they want no one to get credit for such a picture. As for myself, if my eyesight or my willingness to believe that this is a REAL shot, would doubt the veracity then I would have no willingness to believe most anything else of an unusual nature. Good picture,I was startled and I didn't immediately begin to doubt it. THE picture.

The comment from the photographer stated that it looked like it started to come down, but went back up. If it was a tornado, it didn't touch down. And it was not in this setting. Someone did some real photo doctoring here. The cloud formation looks like one I saw on WeatherBug a few weeks ago.

They are almost always during heavy rain and hail with debris flying everywhere. I see none of that in this pic. In fact it looks like the sun is shining through the trees. I think this has been photo-shopped. I have lived in Arkansas for 15 yrs and have been through a few tornadoes. They are almost always during heavy rain and hail with debris flying everywhere.
