On Monday, they found the last person who was missing from a boat. The boat turned over on Lake Tahoe in California because of a big storm at the weekend. Eight people died in total.

On Saturday afternoon, a boat with ten people on it turned over near D.L. Bliss State Park. This happened because a storm made big waves. The U.S. Coast Guard said this. The boat was 27 feet (8 meters) long.

Two people were saved quickly and went to hospital, but we don't know how they are. Six dead people were found on Saturday and another one on Sunday evening, the police said. Divers looked in the lake and found the last dead person on Monday afternoon.

Kyle Parker said they will not tell the names of the people who died until their families know.

People have drowned in the lake in the last few years. There have also been other accidents where people died. Big boat accidents where many people die are not common. In 2022, the South Lake Tahoe Police said that about six people die in the lake each summer. But in 2021, a lot of people died, about 15. The police don't have the newest numbers yet.

The storm was very strong, even for the weather experts. They thought it would rain, but not so much. Matthew Chyba, a weather expert, said the storm hit the south side of the lake around 3 p.m. The wind was very fast, more than 56 kph, and the waves were very high, more than 2.5 meters.

"We didn't think it would be that strong," Chyba said.

He said it was much colder than usual in the area, and this might have made the air not stable.

Chyba said that the eight-foot waves on Lake Tahoe were "pretty big." He said, "They were really shaking the lake."

Lake Tahoe is a well-known place for summer fun, like boating and kayaking. This very cold, clear lake sits between California and Nevada, and it's one of the deepest lakes in the United States, after Crater Lake in Oregon.

The officials haven't given any information about the people on the boat that sank. They also haven't said if the boat was rented or if someone owned it.

The storm that happened on Saturday was over in about two hours.

Brittany Glick was on a rented boat with seven friends for a bachelorette party on Saturday. The weather changed quickly: the wind got stronger, the waves grew larger, and it became cold. She also mentioned that it was hard to see. This all happened on Monday.

She said it felt like a big wave was starting. She had never felt anything like it before.

After about an hour, the boat returned to the dock. The water became very rough, making the passengers wet. Then, it started to hail.

"It was scary to see all the boats turned over," Glick said. "We were very cold because we were wet. We were shaking a lot. Our feet felt numb, and our toes were turning blue. It was one of the scariest times in my life. The storm started very quickly. It was terrifying."

KCRA-TV got a video. It showed boats at a marina hitting each other because of strong winds.
