Looks like someone took it with a camera phone, haha.

Actually it is Photoshopped but not what you may think. The tornado and lightning bolt are an actual picture taken a few years ago and the structure to the left was inserted. Shots of tornadoes with lightning like this are not unusual since tornadoes form out of thunderclouds.

I think this is the original

Certainly the photo's are mezmorizing either way.
