I have seen lots of talk about wave heights and the decision to go or not go, however I haven't seen much on here about storms and lightening.
I have frequently seen boats headed towards storms containing lightenting without seemingly giving it a second thought. I usually play it safe, maybe too much so, I just don't want to risk it . What is everyone's rule of thumb on lightening (when to scat and when you don't go at all)? I see lots of forecasts for scattered to numerous t-storms and usually you can't tell by looking at the morning sky what is going to develop later in the day. I am particularly interested in that the 10 day forecast for Corpus looks like at least 30% for t-storms for 9 of the next 10 days....
