As the storm was heading down the lake, a barge that had an excavator on it was just finishing up for the day. They got part way out into The Broads and came back to the island. Smart move I think.
Just as the small white caps started, we saw a boat over near Parker Island that was trying to head north. They thought better of it!
This storm was not friendly looking and the warnings that were coming out about it were strong to severe.
Just like Dan said, It didn't last long. The waves weren't huge, which is very unusual. It was amazing how the wind was just taking the water off the lake, blowing it in a giant spray down the The Broads. There were lots of vivid lightening strikes.
The power didn't quit until it was past our neck of the woods and I am so glad that the power came back so quick. We almost headed home with the contents of the refrigerator. We would have missed this beautiful day on the lake.
