If I can be candid here, this crane placement was a last minute thing. I saw a park with a visitor's center sort of house and just went with it. Usually I plan things out. This was a time where a little planning and forethought would've been appropriate. It had gotten a little cloudy, but I thought nothing of it until I was 3/4ths of the way to the house and I heard a single rumble of thunder. Now, what I should've done was turn around. What did I actually do? Well, from this placement, I think you all know the answer. I continued on and checked the Doppler radar on my phone as I walked. Unfortunately as I started walking back to my car it started drizzling. I thought I could smartly jog to beat the rain. Perhaps if I was a runner, this plan may have worked. I can't remember the last time prior to this where I moved quicker than a brisk walk. Needless to say I got caught in the downpour and was completely drained.
I've learned my lesson to check the immediate weather forecast before starting our for an impromptu walk/hike! Who am I kidding though? This isn't the first time I've been caught outside in the rain, and it likely won't be the last.
