In school, my PE in the senior years was rowing. You basically gathered a crew with one experienced steering person, put the boat on the river, did the predefined round, put the boat away, and you could go home. Be there early, get you boat out quicker, row a bit faster, and you were done early.
One day, the teacher stopped boats going out shortly after we left because of the weather. We were at the farthest point when we noticed the thunderstorm. I can tell you, in a thunderstorm you don't want to be the one high point in the middle of the river! So we ran the boat home, pulled it out of the water and carried it up the ramp to the boat house. When we were in the middle of the ramp, lighting struck the flag pole about 5-10m from the ramp. Light and sound effects simultaneously, and it was LOUD!
I don't remember the moments after the impact, but we were told that no group ever had carried their boat up the ramp and into the building that fast.
