:2purples: Holy shiat...I hope everyone was ok. Sad to see those boats underwater. I thought someone said toons could handle the chop? That's extreme!

[Havasu1986]

Great pics. I thought I was having problems keeping the pictures on the wall in the garage waiting for Mudsharks to deliver.

[lalhc]

I guess it was a good decision for me to keep the boat out of the water yesterday and stay in the pool most of the day. That was some nasty shiat out there :crossx:

[shueman]

Those are amazing.... :220v: Thanks for posting....

[blackcloud75]

I have only see Mead/Mohave/Powell with them kind of rollers...
I would've mounted one of those stand-ups for a lil' surf action like the ol' days!!!

Well I will say that was an older 80's toon (2 Toon smaller logs) but I wouldn't have wanted mine out there for comparison....

[RitcheyRch]

OMG. That sure looked nasty. Hope everyone was safe. Boats and watercraft can be repaired/replaced.

[Roxysnow]

wow, wouldn't want to be oe of those 16ft boats on that water!

[mbrown2]

Pretty nasty water...

[pixilatedpussy]

Yep....that is why we stayed home! Yikes...hope everyone was ok.... :220v:

[Throttle]

I seem to be having trouble uploading pics right now, but mine look to be about the same... the sand blowing through the channel was knarly! :cry:

[MBlaster]

Nasty stuff. Glad we weren't there.

[RiverRatMike]

huge lightning storm occuring over Parker right now. Damn wish I was still out at the river house. Storm is moving towards Havasu.

[JB in so cal]

We were in a pretty protected cove about 1 1/2 miles south of Steamboat and we got slammed!
By the time we got ready to go, it had pretty much passed. It was moving so fast, we saw white caps in the main channel before we EVER felt a wisp of wind. Pretty wild.

[TCHB]

We pulled out at around 4pm and it was quiet but you could see the storm building over the mountains. We had waves in our small pool.

[Kilrtoy]

Sucks that people got caught in that. It blew in very fast and was very ruff

[Psycho Squid]

Squids came in from speed alley .............WoW we made it to the channel. There was no way we could get on the trailer. Thought we would wait it out. Best decision I've ever made... :clover:
Squid

[Goad]

wow :( sucks to see boats actually went down due to that storm.
that storm came in like a freight train too, it was nice and peaceful one minute and it felt like our trailer was gunna blow over the next. luckly, we were off the lake with our tiny 17' jet boat and back at home in desert hills before that hit.

[Old Man Havasu]

Wow!
It pays to kep your eye on the horizon!

[plaster dave]

OMFG that is some bad weather, is this the worst summer weather in years on LH?

[Hardly Satisfied]

WoW That's nasty

[Riveratz]

Anyone have any more news on the Site 6 area?

[UnionJack]

I posted this quick with my laptop so you could see them.

[little rowe boat]

That was crazy, we had just trailered the boat at cattail, when the wind hit. The whitecaps on the lake were incredible.

[Water Romper]

Ok, so lets say I am floating in Copper Canyon or Gasoline Alley, I’ll use these as an example because a lot of folks have been there at least once..and one of these nasty monsoons hit, would the boats be relatively safe back in these coves? I understand the waves on the lake and on open beaches but would the same “washing machine” effect be back in the coves? :eek:
Also, what does a guy do once his boat goes under and he is on the beach…I have never had this happen. I would be lost in more ways than I can imagine.. :cry:

Re: GA....If I was in there and a monsoon hit real bad I would head towards the back corner and things should be OK. If you are out in the middle of the cove a lot of boats (assuming other boats are still in there) would be blowing around and into each other. The back of the cove would be relatively safe but of course if others tried the same thing it could get pretty hectic. Dirt would be blowing pretty hard back there also. Put your bimini DOWN ASAP.

[My Man's Sportin' Wood]

six words come to mind
"PUT YOUR G** DAMM BIMINI DOWN!!!!"
What the heck is the matter with people? Do they not have the common sense to know that that thing is a sail in the wind?
Heaven forbid they get wet. Can't let that happen :rolleyes:

We were at havasu landing until 11:30 that day. It did seem to be getting a
little breezy. Does any one know where these pix where taken? :220v: :220v:

[Havasu1986]

That is right off of Havi Landing

[kanedog]

I think the wind is blowing so hard it is lifting the toon by the canopy clear out of the water. Its the latest thing in pontooonage-paratoonsailing!!!!!!!!!!

HELL yes that shit came in way fast. With in a few minutes.

[Mohave Vice]

I had to look twice at that pontoon pic. Mine looks real close to this one. Red bimini as well.

[INSman]

Off the water and back at the house by 4:45 p.m. for a nice relaxing cocktail hour and BBQ, oh the luck :rollside:

Actually it was a hard top frame with the canvas on. He should've just taken the canvas off.

How many times have I seen that view off my bow at speed???

[INSman]

TOO many times, each and every trip out :220v: :mad: :boxingguy :hammerhea

Is that "lice" cutting right in front of you???What an azz!!! :yuk:

[ChumpChange]

This type of boat driving was made popular by Fast Freddie. Just put the bimini up and hit the nos and you're gone.

"Whew" good. Had me a bit worried there... :)

[25Elmn8r]

We were at the Nautical when this blew in. 3 boats went down right off the beach. I rode it out in the middle waiting for the trailer.
Pretty crazy how fast it came in.

[Sigus]

I was pulled up on the beach at the turtle. As luck would have I had an Advantage Party Cat upwind of me. I helped him stake and anchor down then cudled up next to them.
That was one of the worst storms I have seen in Havi. Friggin came up fast. The waves in Thompson looked more like the northshore Pipeline!

[Wicky]

wow, wouldn't want to be oe of those 16ft boats on that water!
All in a days work in a 16 ft Boston Whaler!! Looks like fun!!
Very cool pics!!

[RiverRatMike]

I was in Parker at my river house when the wind storm hit Sat afternoon. Total kaos. Then around 11pm that night got some rain and a little lightning and thunder.

flood watch just issued for Havasu and surrounding areas through Thursday night. We'll see if we get anything. I have my camera waiting.

[phebus]

Looked worse earlier. Now, it's sunny, no wind, and beautifull.
It sucks living here. Been here over two weeks now, and have only been on the water twice. Moving sucks, and moving in sucks too. :mad:

yeah nice outside at the moment, some t-heads popping up around the Parker area. Looks kinda stormy out that way. Hope it comes this way.

[bignet]

There's been a lot of monsoons this season...Friends of ours are heading out tomorrow. Weather (www.noaa.gov/) predicts possible thunderstorms through the weekend. :cry: . Better him than me! :rollside:
Hopefully everyone going out this weekend, stays safe. :)
