What the hell were they doing out on the water in weather like that?
I really dont know - I wonder what their protocol is. That specific area had a T-storm warning at 6:30 and they capsized after 7. They did review the radar on the local news, and apparently it was the very leading edge of the storm system that got them.
I wonder if they were out too far and didnt have time to get back after the warning was issued.
Those Midwest storms can blow up fast.
