On 4/30/2023 I, State Game Warden was dispatched to Lake JB Thomas for a capsized boat. At around 7:30 PM four individuals were cruising the lake in Operator's new 16ft Nitro when a windstorm blew in. 

Operator began heading toward the main boat ramp. Their direction of travel put them driving head on into the wind and waves. The small boat began taking on water to the point where the nose of the boat went under water and didn't come back up. 

The boat then capsized sending all of its occupants into the water. All of the occupants were wearing life jackets and safely made it to shore. One person was in the water the longest. He was transported to Mitchell County Hospital where he was cleared and released.
