Jerryism #51 comes to you, with a very heavy heart, from the southern shores of Lake Superior in Marquette, MI where the gales of November came early and took the lives of people who tempted fate and ventured too close to the powerful waves.
As I was filming, one young man ventured out on the Blackrocks for a photo op in 60mph winds with 25' waves and was swept into the lake (see post below) but miraculously made it out alive. Two others apparently did not. According to sources, one was knocked in and was able to get out just before they were both knocked back into the lake and swept away.
PLEASE do NOT mess with the power of Lake Superior. Yes, it was risky to go out and shoot this. However in the extreme shots of Blackrocks I was high above the lake zooming in from a wide protected ridge and secured to a tree.
This video also includes shots from many other points along the city of Marquette beaches.
My deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who were drowned.
