I have been in a few situations when lightening was present. When I was 10 I was with a buddy and his older brother on Lacassine Bayou (1970) when a thunderstorm came up...lightening hitting the trees as we made our way back to Loraine Bridge (14 ft. boat with a 9.5 Evinrude and 5 people between 10 and 16 years old). Said a few Rosary's on the way back. In high school...fishing in Lacassine...rod tip buzzing...I physically my best friend from the back of the boat to get out of there...lightening hitting the levees. Now I have 4 weather aps on my phone so I can make the call...I ain't 10 ft. tall and bullet proof any more...now day there is no excuse for "I did not know what the weather was going to be..."
