Fall Storm on Lake Superior 

Wow thanks for sharing...amazing power. Thanks MT!

do you remember another engineer named Karl schroeder from your oglebay norton days?

Don’t believe the Middletown was a sister to the Fitz.

The same can be said for the other four. They’re all basically bite-sized oceans

Makes me think of the Edmund Fitzgeraldl!!!😳

It sure does 🙂 Thanks Steve!

Lightfoot reference #5!! 😁 Keep 'em coming people! 😆

Think we’ll get the Fitzgerald covered. So... “Carefree highway, let me slip away Slip away on you.” 😁 Amazing footage! Would love to be there and feel that power.

@@stupot1010 hahah 😜 thanks Steve!

Awesome video John. Yup we've been stuck on shore on Wilson Island because the lake got crazy over night. Takes a long time to settle down even after the wind stops

@@ghfjjgk kinda awesome to be at its mercy though, when you're safe anyway 🙂

that's how she takes the big ships down; not terrifying at all.

The winds were intense here in Minnesota. I was wondering how the Ontario shoreline was doing based on the wind direction.

@@livetroy yeah and today it's Marquette getting slammed

Hmm 80 isnt bad, that's not even a full storm, make another vid when it hit's 160 cus that's pretty breezy:)

Of course i looked up the lyrics to the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald to add my reference.. I had never actually Read the lyrics before tho I've heard the song many times (being a Michigander) got me right in the feels. ~ Does any one know where the love of God goes When the waves turn the minutes to hours? The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her They might have split up or they might have capsized They may have broke deep and took water And all that remains is the faces and the names Of the wives and the sons and the daughters... The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy

Lightfoot reference #8! 😬 Thanks O2E :)

"Christian Island / Georgian Bay" : one of the most beautiful Gordon Lightfoot songs.

So true...in the canoe it's pretty scary and you have to scrap your agenda and take what's given to you out there. And check the wave forecast first of course, but it's not always perfect either

Makes me think of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

It's such a dynamic waterbody. Flat calm, raging waves, frozen solid...it's my favourite lake. Thanks Trisha!!

Totally!

Thanks Paul!

Aye aye matey!

Hahah don't know if I can ever live away from it at this point

Thanks Doug!! It was a fantastic show...I really wish I could go do it again

Thanks Pete! So true. It was amazing to witness...one of the highlights of my year

Thanks Andrew! Definitely a situation for caution 😶

It was quite a show!

Hahah thanks a lot Jim!

😆😆

Thanks man! Even here, I'm hearing this was quite exceptional. Erin's lived on Superior for most of her 30 years and said she's never seen it any rougher, and I'm hearing similar things from locals, at least for the last decade.

@@LostLakes wow, that's pretty special then. My girlfriend and I watched in silence besides the odd wow and then some laughs seeing you guys get the shots. Thanks for getting right in there Haha

Sure does! We have no technology to combat this power

Hahah no shame in that 😝 Superior is a force to be reckoned with and it's good to feel that fear lol. Thanks Chris!!

Thank you!

Hahah yet another example of why she's the one 😉

Thanks Kes! Love how the novelty hasn't worn off on someone who's lived here their whole life

Insane!

Wish we had devices like we do now to have recorded it just to relive it and of course shared it with you two. Oh well, back to my time machine designing lol.

Sooo lucky 😁

Lol, no idea how this water stays clear and green with these waves, over at lake ontario, when we get stuff like this, there is usually a mudline

The bottom of this part of superior must be flat rock

Thanks a lot Merry

Hahah they like some pretty testy whitewater

😂😂

Ha! That period is so close. You couldn't brace between waves even if the wind and height weren't factored in.

@@ExploreTheBackcountry I thought it would be pretty obvious that I was joking

@@jeffmcilroy7081 Yup, I've got ya, running with it. Was Imagining a mad scramble to brace in that situation.

Thanks Paul!!

Thanks Shawn! Same here, we're very lucky. But respect is definitely #1 when it comes to these lakes :)

Thanks Jerry!! This was our Halloween afternoon and it couldn't have been better!

@@LostLakes AHHH nice guys. You guys are real I love your ways, I am the same, I think nature in all it's forms are so challenged with the amount of people on the planet. I am happy to see you guys out and enjoying it while we still can. Much respect from the rockies, for some fun check my channel if you feel like it, no biggie if you don't. Jerry. (: keep up the good work.

Thanks April! Respect is definitely needed :)

Thanks Lynette!! That's crazy...totally agree about the rapidity. Spaced out, they'd be manageable. But launching a boat on those shores...I feel like that would be half the challenge

Yeah I can't imagine the terror in that moment of knowing you're in Superior's teeth 😔 Thanks a lot Ken

This storm was mild compared to their storm. This was 50mph. They were sustained 77mph winds with 100mph gusts. 30-35ft waves.

Thanks Ilex 🙂👋

Thanks Jeanne :)

Hahah unintentional the first time, so she figured she'd commit to it 😆

Thanks Jody! I would too...hard to imagine leaving it now that I'm here

Thanks a lot D C! 👋 Appreciate that!

Thanks Paul! It was a fantastic show to watch

She lifts 💪

Yeah very much so...crazy how such powerful winds can turn overnight!

Hahah you got it...pellet stove was pumping :) Thanks John!

Thanks Doug! Witnessing such power, it was hard to leave that day

Hahah no kidding. Thanks Jeep! Well, I put much less time into filming and editing this one than most vids, so naturally it should do better than most 😝

Hahah having a fire on the beach would be quite the challenge, and one's tent would be rather flat. It was an amazing show. I'm already kinda sad that it's in the past, but enjoyed it greatly

@@LostLakes the Salish Sea just about took my tent one evening, I grabbed it by the pole to stop it and the force of the gust snapped the pole on both sides of my hand like it was a twig. I spent the night in a sleeping bag with rocks in it to hold it down.

Hahah oh man....

Lightfoot reference #2, keep 'em coming 😆 Thanks seapine!

Same here, it was hard to leave... Lightfoot reference #1 and counting! 😆

@@LostLakes Lol, I couldn’t help it!

@@islandman5802 I don't know who could! It just begs the reference

Thanks Tracy! Perfect adjectives for it :)

Holy smokes!!!

🤯

Thanks Don!

We lost some shingles! This was a nice upside lol
