HUGE waves in Canal Park!!! Near the end a wave almost hits the bridge! 

Greetings!!! :)

Well, for the Midwest perhaps. We’re yawning out east

I thought that myself!

Looked like one did on the far south side, barely grazed the bridge.

Thank you. 30 years of going down to canal and never seen anything like it.

Which will then cause stress and trouble for others because someone will have to rescue them.

I sure hope canel park ok we love going there in summer

Anything for a selfie. Clueless in the canal.

I had two classmates in grade school who were swept by such waves into Lake Michigan, they both drowned. People need to be careful, the unthinkable can happen in seconds.

Stay off the end of that pier..

3 tours in the great lakes. St Clair Shores, Mobile Bay and D9 commcen. Also did time on a couple of 210's, both encountered Hurricanes. I'll take a Hurricane any day over a "storm" on the great lakes. I remember hitting 25footers coming out of the Sturgeon Bay ship canal, on our way to break the Acacia out of a ice flow. Storm from the south. We got a call from A/S Traverse city asking if we were ok. They found one of our life rafts almost in the straits of Mackinaw, inflated. Guess it got washed overboard and we didn't know. 25ft seas might not sound like much to those who worked Alaska waters, but CONFUSED seas is way worse IMO. I'll stick to that story since I had a couple of tours on 210's and road out Hurricanes, on both.

those waves are 3 ft and not even close to an ocean hurricane swell. 2 ft by Australian standards and 1 ft Hawaiian scale.

Even though it's the Great Lakes it does look like an ocean I remember years ago I was in Minnesota NOT by the Great Lake area I was in a paddle boat I went so far out we were in a Severe Weather at the time and I couldn't get back to shore but I made it back

@Kraken wood floor service Mcmahon I thought you got cyclones in the Australian area, not hurricanes. I know, what's in a name. Point being, these weather events can be different for different areas and create various conditions. Great Lakes gets it Gails and Storms that can manifest conditions that rival a hurricane. But what you get as a bonus in the lakes is confused seas. Something you dont get out in the middle of a typical hurricane. And the seas build faster there due to their depth and shape. Anything that can sink a 700ft ship is bad, regardless where it happens. 73's

@@tc1uscg65 Riding a 210, I don't blame you at all. The periodicity of the wave on the Great Lakes (especially Erie, which is comparatively shallow) makes it even worse. This would be a tough ride in even a 378'. How about going out in a 44 MLB or even one of the "new" 47's in this?

Thanks Freddy!

Mother Superior is a beast!!!❤❤❤ I grew up with this town and Lake. My uncle had a Marina and store near the lift bridge. He got a large houseboat and the family started their way to Silver Bay, North of Duluth. Storms come up real quick on this lake and one blew in fast,, swamping the houseboat and all 7 went in the water. His kids were marine disaster trained and all survived, which is amazing, since the water is usually around 40 or so degrees. Even on a rare hot sunny day you can barely put your foot in it..

Thanks High Plains! It was awesome.

Haha Love it!

Lmao! Thanks for that flash to the 90s. The blowhard George and the blowhole😂!!! Ya gotta love the friendly Soup Nazi. 🤣🤣. No Soup!!!!!

But what George really wanted, was to be an architect.

Your saying the lake would routinely inundate the shoreline LIKE THIS! I don’t believe that for a second.

Thank you

As far as I know the bridge has never lifted for waves.

30 years I've been going down there looking at waves and I've never seen anything like this before.

Forgot on my reply ❤ thanks Dave Becareful

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for sharing that!!

An event I commemorate each November. I live a short bike ride from where she departed on her final voyage.

Thank you! Phillipians 4:6-8 Isaiah 26:3. ;)

Wow, that'd be scary!!!

A while back 4 or 5 people were swept off the walkway, out by the lighthouse. Maybe 40 years ago. Seems to me there were 3 from 1 family.
