April 8, 200321 yr comment_33054 Try this for size. It was taken from a drill rig off the NW Australian coast in March from a well that our company was drilling. Can't remember the cyclone's name but does it matter?!

April 8, 200321 yr comment_33056 This Picture isn't of a storm, but was sent to me by a friend who worked on an oil rig in the North Sea for a timeThis came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling in St.Johns, Newfoundland. They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the rig by towing them with ships! Anyway, in this particular case the water was calm & the sun was almost directly overhead so that the diver was able to get into the water and click this pic. Clear water huh?!They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons. (And now we also know why they say one picture is worth 1000 words.)
