YAR! Neptune and Cthulhu are fighting beneath the waves as Godzilla cranks the tunes! Funny little thing, my wife and I moved to WI from NJ 13 years ago. She didn't believe me when I told her that Lakes Michigan and Superior were so big you couldn't see to the other side and that they were somewhat like inland oceans. She saw Lake Michigan on a calm day and couldn't see the other side, proving that. She just watched this with me and now she sees the power of weather on Superior and said, "It looks just like the Jersey shore when we got storms". That's an amazing sight for sure.
We took the Badger across Lake Michigan back in 2013... for about a half hour in the middle of the trip you can't see land in any direction. It's like you're in the middle of the ocean.
@@sski Used to be pretty good, though the zebra mussels have done a number on the ecosystem - they grow on anything solid and filter out all the small life in the water that baitfish feed on. Far as I know, they still stock the lakes with salmon... back when I was a kid, we used to go camping near Ludington, and go into town for ice cream and watch the sun set over the lake. People would be cleaning their catch at the docks, which in several cases were good-sized salmon at least two feet long.
I was a student at Lake Superior State College the day the Edmund Fitzgerald went down. So damn windy that day. Seen these kind of storm waves down by the channel off of White Lake (Montague & Whitehall, Michigan) where I grew up. Thanks for the vid Terry 👍👍
@@d-labelectronics I saw waves like that maybe once in my life when I was a kid on vacation in Myrtle Beach. I'm currently at the very southwestern end of Lake Erie and the most I see are maybe 3-4 foot waves.
Amazing how all those angry waves fizzle out as they approach the shoreline. If you were at the same spot where I live in Humboldt County California you and your little dog would be lost.
Absolutely Amazing!! Was this posted on the same day the video was taken? I haven't been to Grand Marais since 1998 and I will be heading up next summer last day of Aug into the first week of September. I hope I can see something this amazing while I am there!!

@@drtidrow Totally cool. I'd feel right at home then. How's the fishing, I wonder.

I've seen Lake Tahoe out west here like that! Awesome power at work!!! Thnx Terry! Now get in and get warmed up!!!
Terry, I kept waiting for you to run out into the water with your surfboard! Now that would have been a great video. LOL
Edmond Fitzgerald comes to mind....may it and those brave souls who lost their lives R.I.P. ...............nice video !
The Fitz was my first thought.
Those waves are amazing, not even taking into account that they are coming off a LAKE.
Excellent use of the soundtrack!
Thank you Sir, I thought it fit the situation. Never seen it so active

This is pretty common
Mercy!
I was born and raised in GM. That’s not a bad storm. A bad storm is when the waves roll over the light house on the end.
Was in Marquette a while back, I've seen the wrath superior can do, that storm took 3 lives off the pier's there,
GORDON LIGHTFOOT. you know the song and events of Nov 74...

A real Gitche Gumee!
I thought the 'Witch of November' was supposed to come in...well...November.
"The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead, when the gales of November come early"
@@bonemar66 I remember when that happened, with big headlines in the Detroit papers. I was eight years old at the time.
Come to California Terry, our beaches are wonderful warm water, Yea a little Smokey but nothing like that..
Look at all that energy, we got to find a way to harness it.
My dog was not happy. 😆 😆😆
The gales of November came early.
Great Lakes claimed many ships
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the Gales of November come early.
