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
Puget Sound Fishing Trolling or jigging for that elusive Puget Sound Salmon is what "Life in Des Moines" is all about. Whether you are trying to catch that big 30 pound Wild King Salmon or that beautiful Bright Silver it is definitely a rush. We have many days of fishing, in the spring and summer there is the Chinook run and fall brings the Sockeye, Coho, Chums and Pinks. But wait the year is not over in the winter there is the Winter Blackmouth. But don't get in trouble check the Home Page for the fishing regulations for the right times to drop your line.
