Huge Waves on the Great Lakes!

[user098123]

Any surfers around? haha not likely...

"A storm over the upper Great Lakes will continue to lash portions of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes today through tonight with high winds and rain. Winds will cause chilly AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures and damage due to toppled trees and power lines. Thousands across the region already had power cut Sunday. Other areas could experience power outages today. Winds will also whip the waters of the Great Lakes into a fury. Waves will be as high as 15 feet on Lake Michigan and over 20 feet on Lake Superior. Conditions will be dangerous for recreational boaters and commercial shipping."

Grand Haven Pier, not too far away from where I grew up.

Wish I could see that in person! That water level is usually like 6 feet below the pier, at least.

 

[Mooose...]

yea there are a lot of people surfing up their this weekend

 

[user098123]

Haha ya probably not too good for surfers. However, people surf all winter long on Lake Superior up in Marquette. They get the thickest wet suits you can buy and go out there during midwinter storms, the lake effect can bring in 10 ft+ rip curls.

Lake superior is calm at the moment.

I should have brought my jetboat out though and went wave jumping. I would have sunk it though, no question about it haha.
