Four Days on the Lake

Saturday afternoon the weather took a turn. Thunderstorms were forecast and we could hear a distant rumble. The sky to the south turned an angry purple and the wind began to kick up with sudden coolness. Yes, the classic summer storm on the lake. But we were safely ashore.

Lightening flashed in the sky and we watched as motor boats sped towards 19 Mile Bay. I looked at the radar and there was a large splotch of green with yellow and red inside. Not good. Red is not good.

While we waited for the deluge the sky to the north remained blue. It was odd to see such a contrast in weather within a 180 degree span. But what was even more odd is that after all this bluster it only rained about six big drops and that was it. (Reminded me of some politicians)
