Picture of Hurricane
Isabel Taken From a Ship-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor The eRumor includes one or
sometimes two pictures of strange looking cloud formations said to
be of Atlantic Hurricane Isabel in September of 2003.
The Truth Why someone felt the need
to say these were pictures from Hurricane Isabel is known only to
that person, but they are not.
They were posted by an Australian pilot on a website of pictures
from Western Australia.
TruthOrFiction.com was able to track him down.
He says the pictures were taken by a friend of his around the time
of Cyclone Graham in February, 2003.
The pictures were taken over a two day period in and near Port
Hedland.
One of them is from the deck of one of the iron ore ships that sail in and out of Port
Hedland.
The second picture was taken as the storm was adjacent a salt mine
at Port Hedland.
Port Hedland is frequently affected by cyclones, so much so that the
city council has a pre-cyclone
clean-up period for three weeks every year in October.
