Social media and news sites have been abuzz over an amazing image supposedly tropical storm Isaac. The picture was actually taken by an amateur in Brunei but that hasn't stopped people from using to to illustrate all kinds of weird things over the years.

Over the weekend, something almost as cyclical as storms themselves began spreading across social media — an old, dramatic image of a green-ish cloud hovering above water. Numerous people attributed the picture to Isaac but, as quickly as the picture spread, even making a brief appearance on Britain's Daily Mail, people began debunking it. This image seems to pop up every time there's a big storm — but where did it come from?
Thanks to Tin Eye, a photo-search site, we can see that the picture has illustrated a great many things besides Isaac.
A Dream
This storm was used to illustrate a post about a guy's desert island dream. Scroll to the end for Adriana Lima shots.

Spiritual Wordplay
In 2008, Tom Cottar used the image for a blog post on spirituality and anagrams — "Did you ever realize that Britney Spears is an anagram for Presbyterian? Or that Pepsi Cola is an anagram for Episcopal?"
