RedactedNarrative: On 8/21/2018, I was dispatched to take a damage report for a houseboat located in Kane Creek on Lake Powell. The damage to the vessel was caused by a microburst. The storm tore off the entire top deck of the houseboat.
  
  After taking the damage report and while moving off the beach, I observed a nearby houseboat that appeared to have suffered the same type of damage.
  
  I noted there were no passengers in the area. I identified the houseboat as the Jolly Roger, based on the name painted on each side of the boat. The vessel's U.S. Coast Guard documentation number (1029301) was shown on the wall of the stern deck of the vessel. After taking photos of the scene, I left to return to my station.
  
  I looked up the documentation number for the vessel online and obtained the vessel's ownership information, including an address. I
  
  On 10/1/2018, I decided to leave a voicemail and was shortly thereafter called by subject who told me he was the owner of the business I'd identified and also the CEO of the corporation that owned Jolly Roger. He confirmed that the vessel was severely damaged on 8/21/2018 and said that the vessel's insurer had "totaled it". He provided me with the name and phone number of the co-owner who had been on the vessel on the date the storm damage had occurred. He also told me the storm impacting the houseboat had been videoed and was available for viewing online (https://komonews.com/weather/scotts-weather-blog/watch-microburst-slams-boaters-on-arizonas-lake-powell).
  
  On 10/6/2018 I contacted OPERATOR by telephone. She gave me a summary of the events of the afternoon the vessel sustained the damage. She stated that she and others on the vessel had seen the storm approaching and had secured property from the beach and aboard the houseboat. When the storm reached the boat, she had all passengers put on lifejackets. Although a frequent visitor to Lake Powell since the 1960's, she had never seen so powerful a storm.
  
  She said that when the storm hit the vessel the canopy and storage lockers on the upper deck were torn off and blown onto the adjacent beach. A 4' x 4' section of the vessel's upper deck was torn loose and fell in to the main parlor area of the vessel. The front, glass patio door was blown inward, but was fortunately caught by a fellow passenger before crashing to the floor. During the storm, all the passengers gathered in the parlor area and the children aboard were placed  under the kitchen table.
  
  After the storm blew over, OPERATOR attempted to call for help on the vessel's marine VHF. However, the antenna had been damaged and so she could only reach a nearby houseboat that was able to relay her call for help to the National Park Service (NPS). She stated that NPS dispatch indicated no NPS units were available to respond so OPERATOR arranged with the vessel relaying her radio transmissions to have a motorboat pick her and her passengers off the Jolly Roger and transport them to the Wahweap Marina. The party arrived at Wahweap at approximately 1700 hours. OPERATOR contracted with Executive Services to salvage the vessel from the beach and pick up all the debris. This was completed on 8/22/2018. OPERATOR told me she would provide me with a passenger manifest. She did so on 10/6/2018.
