INITIAL NOTIFICATION: After checking on duty, I drove to the boat ramp to check on boaters due to the sudden approach of a micro-burst wind/rain storm. The wind was blowing primarily out of the south. I observed what appeared to be several boats struggling to negotiate the strong wind and waves. I boarded the park boat and headed in the direction of the struggling boats which was straight off the main boat ramp in a northeast direction approximately three to four hundred yards. The next opportunity I had to visualize the boats, I observed one of them submerged but up-right and the other submerged and beginning to capsize approximately 100 yards apart. I had dispatch locate Ranger  and have him respond, as well as page out Washington County Search and Rescue  (SAR) Dive Team for assistance.
RESCUE: All occupants jumped in the water and were wearing life jackets. I began picking up the occupants of the two submerged vessels (including from Vessel #1 for this report) until all thirteen people were on board the patrol boat. I ensured that there were no injuries and that everyone was accounted for. I was told by the boat operators that everyone was accounted for and I then transported them to the dock. After dropping of the boat occupants at the dock, Ranger  and I responded back out on the lake to check for any other vessels in distress. We found another boat submerged and capsized against the north dam with the occupants on the dam. We were told everyone from that boat was accounted for and uninjured. They said they were fine with waiting on the dam. I was then contacted by the SAR dive team and informed that they can no longer respond to non-life threatening emergencies, after hearing of no injuries and that everyone was accounted for. 
SALVAGE: I then had a county deputy on scene cancel the SAR call due to no life-threatening emergencies and made contact with Roger's Performance Marine (RPM) who is the closest boat shop. Ranger  and I attached marker buoys to the two capsized boats in the open water in case they eventually sank. RPM was the closest and only private operation with the necessary equipment, or access to the necessary equipment to salvage the boats that I was currently aware of. Since RPM was able to respond immediately, I had them respond to assist as it is imperative that the boats are removed as soon as possible due to the pollution/contamination of the water body. Once RPM arrived, he began towing the capsized boats to the dock one at a time beginning with Vessel #1. RPM had a tow truck respond which was able to assist with rolling the boats right side up and loading them on their trailers.
Vessel #1 was transported by the owner to RPM's storage facility on Old Highway 91 in Hurricane to await the insurance representative. After all boats were loaded onto trailers, Ranger Wilson and I cleared the incident with dispatch and continued with the investigations.
INVESTIGATION: Vessel #1 was in the center of the north end of the reservoir when the micro-burst wind storm arrived. As the storm was worsening, the operator turned the boat into the waves in an effort to locate protection behind the island or to the dock. As the vessel began making forward progress through the waves, it began to take on more water over the bow than the bilge or other pump in use could handle. Everyone donned a life jacket as the  vessel became fully submerged and after all occupants had jumped into the water, the vessel capsized.
