THE SEA WAS ANGRY THAT DAY MY FREIND

We had what was probably the scariest time today, I am just glad that I am alive to blog about it today. We decided to go fishing late today, about 2pm to be exact. We got on Bro. Tweets boat with Cindy and off course the kids in Tod's boat, We got to the tree tops and fished a little and caught a few, nothing to brag about. And then the lighting came, and close and very loud. we untied and off we went, we were about 15 miles from the landing so we booked it. Tod was close behind, Then the rain came and it came down hard and thee lighting was fierce, it felt like rocks were being thrown at us, the rain was hard my friend, We could not go to the landing due to the 5 boats ready to get out and so we headed under the Mermetau Bridge for cover. We all tied down and waited, Well the Lighting was getting closer and louder, then a lighting hit a tree about 30 yds from us and the shock wave was loud and hard, we felt the bridge shake and fill with static, one lighting after another, we wuz scared, The rain let up and we headed for the landing and as fast as we could loaded both boats and went to the store in town to get some treats, bad mistake, we were there for a little bit, but enough for what happened next. We saw what was I can only describe as the thickest loudest lighting we have ever seen, and at that they were multiple bolts, I mean "BANG BANG BANG" WE TOOK OFF FOR THE CROSSING OF THE BRIDGE,
Mistake number 2, I didn't mention that Cindy was driving and as we approached the bridge we could see, and then the wind right in the middle of the bridge got so ferocious and the rain came down and hail all at the same time, we could not see nothing, we were in the back seat freaking out, Melinda was so scared," Why you say". because we were in the middle of the road in the pitch white rain and wind and hail, Tweet was yelling get in the side, she was like I cant see, Melinda was like were are the kids, I cant see Tod's truck, I was like Cindy listen to me and get on the side, we couldn't tell if a car or truck was coming on the other side, I from the back had to maneuver the vehicle with left, right , straight, slow down all the way down because I could see the ledge from the back window, We finally made it down and parked for about 20 minutes. needless to say we made it. What a ride.
