I've seen some pretty wild waves at Powell too. Come to think of it, wasn't there a crazy wind storm down there a number of years ago that swamped a number of houseboats? In August '07 I was camped down there and storm came through in the middle of the night. It was all we could do to hold on to the tent to keep it from blowing away. Also damn near pushed a 3500 lbs boat up on the shore sideways. Thankfully I had a shovel to help dig it out. Very glad I wasn't out on the water when it hit. I think my scariest wave experience came at UT Lake out by bird island though. It's unbelievable how quickly that place can turn into a nightmare during a good thunderstorm.
