We knew the forecast called for potentially severe thunderstorms for early am - so we got up early to eat breakfast and enjoy our coffee. Almost exactly at 8 AM, we got nailed with thunder and rain. The wind was not too strong, so we waited it out under the tarp. By late morning, storm was mostly gone - with some lingering showers from time to time. Everything was wet - so we set out to fish. Brandon and James did the casting, while I kept a paddle in the water to counteract wind.
