There is a NHMP Auxilirist who maintains a radio watch on the Lake. He goes by Mighty Mo II and monitors the weather radios as well. When he gets word of an approaching storm (he uses the AM radio trick too) he puts out a warning broadcast on VHF channel 16. People report to him from around the Lake and he has very spcific information for the various parts of the Lake that you may be on.

If you hear the warning, head for home. If you can't make it either find a sheltered cove and anchor or find a friendly dock to put up on. I have done this with a vessel in tow. We put both boats up on a strangers dock to ride out the storm. A few minutes later we were on their porch watching the storm and making new friends. Unfortunately I was on duty and had to skip the cocktails!
