In a storm a sea anchor can help a vessel from drifting off course. It will keep the bow in the wind and slow the speed of the vessel.
drop an anchor of the bow
Drop a sea anchor off the bow.
Deploy a storm anchor (sea anchor) from the bow; something that will slow the boat's drift downwind. Something like a small drogue parachute in the water. The wind will cause the boat to drift, and the waves to rise; the storm anchor will slow down the drift, and keep the boat pointed into the wind. Bow-on is the safest direction for your boat to meet the waves. Otherwise, the wind would tend to push the boat sideways, and you could easily capsize.
During a storm or Thunder Storm or is it the same?
during a lighting storm the weather is normally cold
If the water and your vessel permit it, you'd be wise to anchor and ride out the storm. If you are in open water, a sea anchor can stabilize your ship bow into the wind, and reduce your leeway.
Snow was evrywhere, During the candian ice storm. if you were looking for something else then you were mistaken....But after the storm ice was in windows and on the ground...for those of you who dont know what an ice storm is, it is a Blizzard...YAY!
It's not safe to be in or around a body of water during a lightning storm.
