Default RE: Hunting in thunderstorms

I did get caught in one a few years ago.

In Florida we have daily storms and they are fast moving, and short lived. They start at the beach and go inland getting stronger. However they only make it 30-50 miles before they die.

Once they made it to where I hunt and it caught me off guard. I heard the thunder in the distance but thought nothing of it, cause the storms don't make it that far. The wind started first, then the heavy rain and fierce and frequent lightning. I never came down a tree so fast and laid in the mud for so long, that scared, as I did that day.



FOOLPROOF?
Never underestimate the power of a fool!

What if the "Hokey Pokey" really is what it's all about?
