I'm sorry, but the whole deal I MQT today was just Darwinism at work. I've stood at the exact spot where this went down and it was just flat out stupid to be put there in today's conditions. It's cold, but I have no sympathy.

-- in the lake is definitely not a good place to be.

At this point its called looking for bodies. Huge water is unforgiving

A buoy near Munising just recorded the highest wave ever recorded by a great lakes buoy (30 years of incomplete records). 28.8 feet and building.
An attempted water rescue is underway in Marquette. Some Presque Isle tourists got washed in.
I'm going out this afternoon to get some pics but have no intention of getting that close.

I read this and thought what kind of insane person would be ON the lake today, so I checked, and found this. Theory is apparently they fell in from on shore. Seems unconfirmed yet but if the CG is out there in this weather it's obviously serious.

Water temp is what? Probably 50 degrees or so right now? That plus 30 ft. waves -- in the lake is definitely not a good place to be.

Some not so light chop

I take it then that that is unusual.

I'm just surprised you haven't heard about it because the legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they called 'gitche gumee'. The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy.

On the great lakes, anything over 10 footers is unusual - maybe 2-3 times/year. Today's 20-25-footers (forecast) happen maybe once in 3 years. When combined with near-record-high water levels, there is a lot of lawn and campgrounds and whatnot right on the lake that will be destroyed.

Not as unusual as a hurricane in NYC.

I wonder how good is the surfing??

Great Lakes experiencing strong winds, leading to high "seas".

Could someone explain to an easterner what the recent posts are about?
