Great Lakes Storm of 2010 - Grand Haven channel "gotcha" wave got me

@JeffDeWitt - most of the rivers in western MI are tinted very brown by tannin coming from swampy areas. Perfectly natural, perfectly healthy. But your observation is excellent, especially true when it comes to waves near shore - they inevitably carry a lot of sand. Some big hits I have seen are totally brown and they are on the other side of the pier!

Good on you for not dubbing ridiculous music over the natural sound of the storm.

Cool video. I remember that windstorm. Look at the Nasty Grand River poop water and how blue the water out in the lake is...haha.

@CMink7777 I don't think that's anything nasty it the water. The waves pick up sand as they get close to shore, that's what builds up (and tears down) the sand bars and the beaches.
