We where out in our favorite swimming area in Lake Erie, when the Coast guard sent out a severe storm warning for our area, we barely got the anchors up and where heading back to our dock 6 miles away when this storm hit us. I was lucky and didn't suffer any damage where my friend just a few hundred yards beside me the lightening hit the water not 100 feet from his boat taking out his chart plotter. Ive boated on lake erie for over 40 years and ive never seen a storm come up that fast and severe in a matter of minutes since the Coast Guard had issued the warning.
