[QUOTE="BamaProud, post: 5282317, member: 9871"] I have been in many bad situations with pop-up thunderstorms but the worst was experience on the water was at night alone in a 14 ft boat on a floundering trip. I was probably 19 or 20. I was running back to the launch about 3 am and a thunderstorm blew up between me and Dauphin Island. Once the wind and waves started the only thing I could do is keep the bow straight into the wind/waves and motor forward. Rain was intense, waves were coming over the bow and lightning was popping all around me. It was pitch black and I had to steer with one hand and bale out the boat with the other. After about 30 min's I ran aground in a salt marsh but really had no idea where I was. After the storm stopped/moved an I could see lights on the bridge and on DI, on I determined that I had veered way too far East past the launch and was on the North side of Little Dauphin Island. It also hit me that I drove under the Bridge (concrete pilons evert ~100 feet) to get where I ran aground. [img]http://i.imgur.com/o9faQLI.png[/img] [/QUOTE]
