Just standing up is not an option unless you are close to shore. It may not be really deep, but plenty deep in a severe storm. In fact, it's shallowness and large surface area greatly adds to the danger, because the waves can cause a boat's outboard/outdrive to get hung up on the bottom and then the waves can swamp the boat. Also, standing up and being stuck in the mud up to your knees or further would also not be a good situation in a storm.
