According to reports, the storm conditions escalated quickly, with winds exceeding 30 knots and waves over 8 feet, catching many boaters off guard. The U.S. Coast Guard and multiple agencies responded to the scene, rescuing two individuals who were hospitalized, while the condition of the missing persons remains uncertain due to the cold water temperatures and overnight snow levels dropping to 8500 feet.
