At a glance

  • Affected location: Highway 3 - Hope to Princeton via Allison Pass
Storm on Loch Hope This is really about the weather. Less than two hours earlier, there had been blue skies and scattered white clouds. You can tell that the lightning hadn't started at this stage; the carbon fibre rod is still hand held! The waves inside the boat are particularly interesting.
