Lightning Strikes Our Boat

Occurred on June 25, 2021 / Florida, USA

: "We were fishing the 34th annual Old Salz Ladies Tournament. We were approximately 120 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico coming out of Anclote/Tarpon Springs. Myself, Joshua Guy, Meghan Chaple, and five others were on the vessel when it was struck by lightning. We were heading in from fishing the tournament to submit the fish to the Wayans and we were struck by lightning. After dispersing the EPirb, the Coast Guard responded and we were airlifted back to the Clearwater Coast Guard station near the Saint Pete international airport."
