    I doubt he knew anything happened. But I dont understand people taking chances in bad weather.

    Being from out of state he may not have been familiar with how fast conditions can change when our summertime coastal sea breezes converge. Praying for the family. I believe he was only 44 yrs old, too young.
    Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

    meterology was my major my first two years in college. i learning lightning can strike up to 15 miles ahead of a storm. i always watch radar before going out, and during my time out. any thunder, i leave immediately. the following article disusses the dangers. https://www.weather.gov/media/gid/lightning.pdf

    i was a meteorology student my first two years in college. i have been a boater and fisherman my whole life. lightening can occur 15 to 25 miles ahead of a storm without the warning of thunder nor of any rain. i see too many boaters waiting on the water too long when storms approach. https://www.weather.gov/media/gid/lightning.pdf
