Thunderstorms
August 6, 2016 9:00 amI saw thunderstorms were in the forecast last night. I have in the past weathered some pretty heavy storms in my hammock but it had been over 6 years and admittedly I was a bit nervous. Sure enough about 2hrs after falling asleep in was awoken by lightning flashes and rumbles. I knew what was coming and waited with nervous anticipation as the first drops hit my rainfly. As the rain increased so did my anxiety. If something leaked it wasn’t like I could just go sleep in the car. I’m happy to say though, the hammock held up like a champion! We got 2 sets of thunderstorms both about a half hour long and about 2hrs apart. Didn’t sleep so much but I was bone dry and happy!
