Big storm headed my way, me in a small kayak.
Had been rainy and stormy on and off all day, but after the commanders game it looked like I had a 2 hour window of clear weather. Set off across the creek into a strong wind. Got to the other side, turned around and then saw a huge black cloud coming my way. I hauled across the creek and the wind picked up blowing every which way. High waves didn't help my mild panic. By the time I was halfway across the black clouds had taken up about 3/4 of the sky and i could hear the thunder.. I dont know how I did it but I made it home before the storm hit. Was even able to put the kayak away, rinse my feet and get into the house with plenty of time to spare. Last time I trust The Weather Channel and their doppler.
