I keep one of these in my daypack. Saved me from some big t-storms before I got stuck on the beach. $50.00 well-spent.

I saw a lightning strike about 100 ft away to a pool ladder (50 meter salt water pool) when I was about 7 hrs old. I also saw a water spout from an umpredicted afternoon thunder shower tear up heavy wood beach cabanas. Storm clouds when you are at the beach mean one thing, and one thing only. Time to go. The carnage always happens to the visitors who don’t know and follow this simple rule.
