17 dead after duck boat capsizes on Table Rock Lake

[redfriday]

I live in Branson about 1.5 miles away from where it took place.

I looked out my window and saw that storm coming in. My first impression was it looked very different from normal storms and was worried about it producing a tornado. From the time I spotted it, and the time it hit, there was about 8-10 minutes. If I had of been out on the water in my boat, I would of headed in immediately. Although the storm came in very quickly, there was time to get off the water.

Its faster than Sh*t. I know you cant compare that to the Ducks, but the ducks really don't go that far out on the lake.

What's really is hard to understand, is the main center were they park and load is even further north than me, that's the direction the storm came in from. (Green mountain & 76) The incident was 1.5 miles south of me. Why didn't they call them all back in? This would of bought more time.
