Episode Details

Lightning can turn a fishing trip, hike, hunt or day on the water into a life-threatening situation in seconds. And some of the most dangerous storms can arrive with frightening speed.

In this episode of Dark Outdoors, Chester Moore reaches into his archives for an interview recorded several years ago with legendary meteorologist Greg Bostwick that has never before aired on Dark Outdoors.

Bostwick discusses the dangers of lightning, squall lines and severe thunderstorms, with important information for hunters, anglers, hikers, campers, boaters and anyone who spends time outside. The conversation explores how quickly dangerous weather can develop, the threats associated with lightning and fast-moving storms and why being caught in an exposed outdoor location can become deadly.

It's a timely look back at a conversation with one of the region's most respected meteorologists and a reminder that some of the greatest dangers in the outdoors don't come from animals or people. Sometimes they come from the sky.
