An enormous sheet of ice covering Lake Michigan can be seen breaking apart from the Chicago shoreline and drifting away, in a spectacular timelapse video posted back in February 2021.
The footage was captured by WGN-TV's weather cam on top of John Hancock Center.
The video shows that the breakaway happened in less than a day as strong westerly winds and above freezing temps help break the ice loose.

Pretty cool to see that huge piece move like that. When I was at the lake looking at the ice few weeks ago, I can actually see the ice moving out into the lake even with light westerly winds. You really wouldn't notice it unless it was timelapsed.

After the Chicago fire much debris was back filled into the lake front or placed on barges and dump in deeper water. Ice burgs would pick up these bricks and drift over to South Haven shore where the following season our ice carried the bricks to shore. After storms you can still walk the shoreline and pick up bricks from Chicago. 🤗🇺🇸 76 yrs.

This was a Rip current. Lake michigan is notorious for currents. Imagine if it was summer with people swimming on the lake! That’s why many people call it the deadliest lake in the US.

Yup, you definitely wouldn't want to be in on of those when swimming.

Even experienced swimmers can die in those. My dad once got caught up in one and was dragged more than half a mile out. I couldn't see him anymore. About 15 minutes later he reappeared. Laughing saying he was dragged out by the lake. We were worried and kind of sceptical. We thought he swam deep into the lake. Back then i didn't know rip currents was a thing
