We actually fished for Trout on Sunday and it was a pretty good day. Good thing we we left prior to the Tornado hitting around Starbrick. Kind of crazy.

The wall cloud was over our house while it was pounding Starbrick. My house kinda overlooks the Starbrick area. Another narrow miss for the second time in about 4 years!

That's crazy! Funnel cloud went around Indiana according to the radar. I sat under a canoe on shore down from Warren a bunch of years ago during a tornado outbreak that hit south of Starbrick. We ended up waiting it out and fishing the rest of the day! Prior to weather apps of today, it was way crazier dealing with mother nature. Now we look at forecasts, pressure, flow rates, fishing reports, etc. and then plan accordingly often cancelling if things aren't perfect. Forty years ago you'd just go no matter what.

Yes we would. Back in my younger days, I used to purposely chase big storms with the hoping the falling barometer would get some BIG fish action. After those folks were killed by lightning while running to their cars at a launch in NW PA several years ago, I got a little smarter. A buddy and I were night fishing during that same storm and got pounded.
