2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...

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.

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.

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. :(

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.

After being advised to google "Weather Wars" I was quickly able to learn that our windstorm was initiated by the same secret globalist military cabal that has been setting off earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and even the CA wildfires (that one by "microwaves"). Enlightening.
... they have also been messing with the course and flow volume of the mighty Mississippi. There oughta be a law.

Nothing like taking the basic plot of Michael Crichton's State of Fear and turning it into fake news.

Those movies are awesome. The PhD is always smoking hot, the absent father is always trying to reconnect with his surly son, and there's always a wacky black character for comic relief.

On SyFy it's always the 80s.

And every scene, no matter whether it's set in Hawaii or New York City, looks suspiciously like Vancouver.

Didn’t we crack the alphabet a few years back?
