I agree I check the forecasts religiously but I will say there was one of two storms last year that snuck up on me really quick. Like OP did we cruised through the no wake zone faster than we should've but not WOT. I would rather pay for your boat bumping up against your dock or a 55$ ticket than bury one of my kids or friends because we couldn't get off the lake in time.
One storm I was WOT pointing towards land and the wind was pushing me so hard I couldn't get to my side of the lake, I docked at some random persons dock and knocked on their door. Politely explained the situation and told them whatever they wanted I would provide to keep my boat there till the storm settled down. You only get 1 life in this game.
