When those strong storms rolled through the area Monday night, a kayaker became trapped out on the waters of Lake Lanier off of Buford's East Bank Park.
Gwinnett County Fire Services spokesman Donald Strother said the woman was able to call for help.
"She made reference to the fact the storm blew wind really overpowered her," Strother said. "She did not have any control anymore over her kayak. Thankfully, the weather actually blew her into the island."
Strother said the woman did not know quite where she was, but was able to take photographs of the area and relay them to first responders.
