Pictures of the lightning strike on a fishing boat Saturday

[southern151]

I got hung up in a Really bad one this year, crawfishing. I won't lie, I was really scared of what was next. Hair was standing, and the light was blinding. I feel like one of the main things that saved us since we were in a heavy aluminum boat, was the trees. Sounds weird right? I have been told that you are better off in the trees than in the open water.

Whatever the case, beit trees or God not wanting me yet, I really feel fortunate seeing that. I hope the family heals from this accident and that people learn respect mother nature.

Yeah you right...The good Lord knows I got too much going on to lay out yet. My mission is NOT complete yet. It was, hand's down, the worst time I've ever had on the water and perhaps in life in general...Rough day.
