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.

I would say it was God not the trees!We went out in a storm Saturday to go shoot some teal.Lightning was off in the distance and we didnt think anything of it but I will next time.
