Huge wave breach-North pier Duluth MN 12.25.09

Uploaded by stormcentertv on Dec 25, 2009
The Blue Dodge Ram was gettin' some spray-on, from my perch atop the Marine Museum viewing platform I was having my breath taken away if not by the shear force of the wind but by the rush of witnessing the maelstrom that was unfolding before my eyes, it had been a long time since we had lake winds this fierce. The epic wave in this footage is the biggest one I've ever seen breach the north pier.

@stormcentertv I think the biggest I had personally seen was around 12-15 ft coming through Superior Entry. The biggest I operated a boat in was probably 10 ft.

@stormcentertv I've seen waves almost touch the lift bridge, and have operated a boat in 8-10 ft waves. Lake Superior waves are much different than ocean waves. A 10 ft wave on Superior is literally 10 ft wind chop.

2 Yrs prior was bigger . #3 ft crests holding down the "pier" to the bridge. Spray freezing to canal park drive by the "toga" wind buffeting my 25950#lb wrecker like it was a honda civic.. UghlEEE! have vid on myspace and youtube that day.

While stationed with the Coast Guard in Duluth, we used to go out in the 44 foot motor lifeboat and train for surf rescues in storms like this. Great video.
