  • People think just because they're called "lakes" they should be calm little bodies of water. These are fresh-water oceans, folks, with tides and currents. I grew up on Lake Erie and I recall a lot of storms kicking 8 and 10 foot waves onshore. Erie was especially dangerous because it was shallow for its size, and the water roiled up faster in a storm.

  • Fella's, it has been nice to know ya!

  • Yeah had a hellish walk home from school when this storm hit, when I was a kid.

  • Wow 30 footers! Are these measured trough to crest, if not, then they were even bigger...

  • See ssEdmundFitzgerald com

  • Thank you for posting this! Excellent video - and damn those waves had a significant wave height of 27ft in the area where the ship sank - for a lake that's incredible!
