Lake Erie Seiche
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- The phenomena on the Great Lakes that sees water rapidly ride and fall from one end of the Lake to the other is called a Seiche and today we got a good one here at the East end of Lake Erie.
We are use to high water levels at this end of the lake so it's quite rare to see a seiche of this magnitude, especially in late Spring.
May 28th brought Rain and Snow to many parts of Southern Ontario but the strong North Easterly Winds created the Seiche.
I have never seen the levels this low in the 10 years that i have lived here.
I noticed that it was way out there but I didn’t know why or that it hasn’t happened for 10 years.
You have to be careful about the water quickly coming back in. I’ve walked on sand to a rock and suddenly I have to get my feet wet to get back in.
Thx for the awesome information. Well done
Kewl! Love the Lake Erie!!!!!! It's the lake version of a tsunami. It's like water in a bathtub. You sit in one end and most of the water flows to the other side. That's a seiche.
Very interesting phenomenon. Thanks for sharing.
Invasive goby not minnows. Incredible footage thanks
Wow! Thanks for the view. Almost looks like an ocean when the tide's out. Never seen this happen to Lake Erie before at least not on this side of the lake. Usually this side gets flooding.
Pronounced SAYSH. This happens a lot more than people realize. I hunt ducks on Sandusky bay and sometimes pick up my decoys by the end of the hunt on dry land. Having to drag my boat out the water to get back in to the ramp. Other times I have water creeping up and rising on me.
That annoys me about the video, I kept saying Seech, like Ronaldo..since this video, it's always been saysh
That was awesome Nigel. I lived here for 23 years. I don't think I ever seen it like that. It was awesome seein the peer with no water.
Very Cool to see
It was.a tad to shallow to film it on the Seadoo. An amazing sight to see
I don't ever remember seeing that ever before! Thank you for sharing.
Astonishing. Been in this area for 70 odd years and have never seen anything like this. Never knew about seiches before. Thank you for posting.
Apparently, neither did the egypcians...
@@xpto0303 yeah, isn't that amazing. I came across the word, seiche, in another video. Looked it up in the dictionary and then searched yt and low and behold, Pharaoh's demise became clear.
My sailboat was in a marina at Port Clinton Ohio on Lake Erie.
A seiche drained it and my keel had wallow out a hole in the mud that kept her upright.
The wind that caused the seiche stopped and the marina filled in minutes. I’ll bet the current in channel to the lake from west harbor was twenty knots.
Love all your videos 🇨🇦
Thanks!!! Loved this. Sorry I missed being out there myself
It’s that effect that Katrina did to Lake Pontchartrain, flooding the northshore.
It would be a good time to inspect that wall for need of repairs
Kewl! Love the Lake Erie!!!!!!
Wow!! Thank you for sharing
wow one of the greatest examples ever..good job and thank you!
Incredible.
I enjoyed the extra high waves from you. Thanks!
That was awesome to see! I wish you had continued to film where you had just walked on the sand as the water was coming back in. That would have been neat to see it returning. Thanks for sharing!
Being from Buffalo, Ny, I have fond memories of Crystal Beach. Thank you.
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Wow very cool! Thanks for the upload
wow very cool , never heard of this before
Very interesting! ❤️
Very, very interesting and informative!
Have not seen that In a long time
Great video. I was walking along Centralia Beach and the Six Mile Creek and it's the first time I can remember seeing almost no water in the creek and pond. I've been here over 20 years too. It's amazing how much lake levels can change. We had record high levels in 2017. Thanks for posting.
I'm on Shirley rd. Frogs and turtles were on the shore grass along the creek
never heard of this , thanks for sharing ; I have subscribe xx
Thank you
My dad left the western basin of Lake Erie on Thursday the 27th and the water was already flooding port Clinton, Ohio . The next day it was even worse . Absolutely amazing the power that wind can have
is it similar to a inland tsunami?
@@JeffDearmanno, it’s similar to high water flooding. There might be some damage, but nothing like the massive destructive power of a tsunami 🌊
We're apparently in for one. I live 4 blocks off Lake Erie, and I'm hoping the damage is minimal!
Good video friend , was just checking out your great channel and i joined up
Great video & new subscriber. Drawn to your channel by the possibility of another like event this holiday weekend. Resident of Fairview PA on the shores of Lake Erie. Joyous holiday wishes to all & health & happiness in the New Year ahead.
The water is all in port Clinton ohio now
For those interested: the lake’s name is French, and was originally spelt Herrié, for once the final e is not silent.
Likewise, the word seiche is French for dried up.
That land was French for a few centuries, after all.
Named after the Erie people, native American Indians living on the south shore of Lake Erie.
Growing up on the shore of Lake Erie in Sheffield Lake Ohio , I witnessed this happen in the late 1960's . The lake was dead calm with a south , south west wind towards Canada. My favorite adventures after school was to walk the beach looking for treasures, plentiful after storms. The old house is gone, replaced my a new, the new owner tells by tax records 40 feet of land was lost over the years. I truly miss the water. There is a Crystal Beach just west if Vermilion Ohio, also was an amusement park.
It would a field day for metal detector enthusiasts. Where is everyone?
What a great and amazing video and view! It really is almost like your own inland, freshwater version of a "low tide" like we would have right outside our window here by the saltwater Atlantic Ocean. It resembles that so much visually, that it's hard to imagine being in that video but not having the characteristic marine smell of the ocean. I wonder if your periodic freshwater seiches help provide the same upwelling and mixing of offshore and deepwater nutrients to life near the shore, like our oceanic tides do here?
Apparently it moves the top layer of water according to another source.
Saw your questions about the Great Lakes, even if I am 3 years too late!!LOL. YES, violent storms do bring up a revolution of water, although the Lakes are deep( over 13oo ft in Superior) so, hard to say if it actually comes from bottom. Yes, we have the same " ocean" smell at times, even if we are not salt water. It is that watery, fishy, dead smell. Weather conditions, air temps, time of year & location all play a part of how pronounced the smell is. Do come to see our Great Lakes( if you haven't already). You may be amazed at the size, the beaches, the vistas & the topography that surround our Lakes. I live in Michigan & adore my state. We have the best combination of Florida beaches, New England type villages & Maine's rocky coast without the salt, sharks or crowds. We are extremely family oriented & Senior friendly,too!!😮
Those are Gobies....invasive anyway and good gull feed
Just started video but wasn't it flooded just a week ago now there's no water at all I'm so confused
It is a common and often scary problem
I'm here because of Peter Watts' "βehemoth". Wanted to know what does this term "Seiche" means. Your video was a great illustration, thank you 🙏
I See your Panic .... But , try to stay calm , Take a Picture , go home , have a Drink , try to relax , and before you know it ... it will be back to normal ! Cheers !
Does the lake have tides?
No, well not noticable, however the lakes, especially Lake Erie does have Seiches
@@NigelHay actually the NOAA does show "tides" for lake Erie, it's only like 1-2 ft at max. It's barely noticeable when the waves are up.
Sheesh. Who would have thunk it?
Grew up on middle bass island this is nothing new if you know the lake and the western basin nor’easters and the weather usually does happen in fall but seen in summer too
Not helpful if you didn’t also drive to the opposite side of the lake to see the elevated water levels and waves.
Little fish looked loke gobies invasive species so not real loss
