Line Squalls are a different matter but I have always managed to avoid
being on the water when they were around.

It is not unheard of for an airplane to travel hundreds of extra miles
avoiding thunderstorms. They are also fast enough to, with the aid of
ground radar, as well as onboard, find a hole in the line. Or outrun
it and land and let it pass. Thunderstorms cause planes to crash. They
break the wings off. They can also turn a plane into a giant
hailstone. Rather be in a decent boat, one with a lightning rod.
