SO SAD TO SEE CASTLE ROCK SO FAR OUT OF THE WATER. LAST TIME I WAS THERE ON MY JET SKI IT WAS PROBABLY 30 FEET DEEP OF WATER AROUND CASTLE ROCK.

40+ years on beautiful Lake Powell, kind of miss not seeing the 3-Sisters in the background. As an HS teen worked as a dock hand at boat rentals, for Canyon Tours before Del Webb took over. Saw many of those thunderstorms even did boat rescues when houseboat rentals got in trouble.

That storm was awesome shrouding the rock formations off in the distance. Great video.

Too many LP weather stories to share here but one of the best.. we were heading up channel towards the San Juan and got into a storm like this. Big bro was driving the houseboat, we were towing a ski boat. I looked out the back and the ski boat was attempting a pass on the houseboat driven by the wind and waves so bro had to go faster to keep the ski boat behind us. Good times! Thanks for this great vid :D

Over the years I've been in a few of those on that lake. It can get real harry real quick.

Wow. We kayaked on the lake on July 6th, into Antelope Canyon. We stayed at the Quality Inn for 2 nights (shown in you're opening scene). I'm glad that we weren't out on the water when this monsoon blew in!

She scary sometimes. But it’s a beautiful scary.

Oh that was a beauty! Such power...yup you were at the right place. Feel bad for the people in tents at Lone Rock, stakes wont work. A micro burst happened a couple years back at LR we were done kayaking and chillin but had to tie off some tents to our truck so the campers tents wouldn't blow away. Talk about sandblasted!

There is so much treasure across the bay of Lone Rock. I remember one happened to us on a camping trip. Storm was through the night and the neighbor forgot to anchor his boat. We woke up and his boat was gone! Found it hitting the rocks over at Antelope Island. I think he learned his lesson.

I've seen 4 footers in the main channel ......Powell is an awesome reminder of how small we really are. 15 trips since 1966. Good times !!🤘🤘

Crazy storm. What’s even crazier is what happened up on the San Juan and through the Moab area. Someone was saying the SJ got up over 20k.

I was in warm creek as all this was happening and it was a scary time because the storm the wind was just blowing so hard and blue tents and a tumbleweeds in the distance. It was bad.

Glad you it through it. From where I was standing, Warm Creek got hit hard!

What an amazing storm! I'd love to experience that

i love your vids, the boat exiting lake looks like a skiier, not laker, bigger camp boats are long staged in protected areas, but your perfect example shows the demise of not getting where safely off channel, and might still not exist, ive seen this many miles up lake, over and over, and love the challenge of their violent weathers demise!!!

Hey thanks! They made it to shore safely! At least they have a story to tell.

I was in something like that a few hours ago and it had hundreds of lightning strikes, but I didn’t see even one in that video.

@DesertRatExploration 4 ай бұрын

A lot of the lightning was gotten before the storm made it to the lake. I wonder what the deal was.

I came across this video when researching Matthew 5:23-27 and Mark 4:35-41 when Jesus was on a boat in a lake and a storm came that broke over the boat and nearly overturned it, but Jesus slept through it. He woke up and rebuked the wind and everything went calm. I know of ocean storms, but wanted to see what a lake storm looks like. Thanks for sharing this moment. Beautiful scenery.
