      You might know my Uncle Tom? He lived in Munising his entire life. My paternal grandparents immigrated from England in late 1800’s to work in the copper mines in the copper country. My dads father entered the coastguard early 1900’s and retired from the coastguard in Grand Marais as a captain. My mothers family were French Canadians who immigrated to Grand Marais as commercial fisherman. When fishing was over for winter grandfather was a captain on saltwater ships to guide them through the Great Lakes. I went to northern Michigan university and moved away. I’m a fourth generation from Grand Marais. I have one aunt still living in GM, she is the last of my family in GM. She will be 101 years old this January. I get back to GM a couple times a year to visit. I’ll be 60 soon, I plan on retiring in two years. Hopefully I can spend more time in GM. There’s a fisherman’s memorial at the coastguard station for all the fisherman who were lost on Lake Superior. The memorial depicts a fisherman standing on the bow of his fish tug entering the Chicago harbor. That Is a picture taken of my grandfather. It’s a small world, take care!

    I lived half a mile from Lake Erie growing up. I would wander over during winter storms just to watch the fury. My family thought I was crazy but the power of the waves was magnetic to me. Of course I made sure to not go out on the piers or retentions, but I definitely stood on the beach...along with whatever other crazy person was doing the same.

    I can’t imagine getting caught far out in that lake. We’ve been caught out in really rough water just coming in from the Slate islands where it ripped off the top from our 19 foot Grew 75 hp . All that was left was the aluminum frame and a foot of water in the bottom of the boat trying to get in to Terrace Bay. The pump couldn’t get the water out fast enough. That was scary. Some 40 years ago. Thank God I was with a guy that grew up on the Slate islands. His dad was the light keeper out there for 35 years. What a amazing place and a great job. Thanks. 🇨🇦👍

    I'm from Ireland and I have been out off the west coast of Ireland in fair weather and the swells are crazy, I've also seen it rage and beat against our West coast thankfully inland on bad days. I live in the east however and have been out to the entry point (for lack of a better term) to the deadly north sea before, from the Irish sea up toward Northern Scotland and again it wasn't even close to being at its worst that day weather wise and even still it was an experience, let me tell you, they say its up there with the Bering sea as one of the more deadly stretches of water in the world. Came here from the Gordon Lightfoot song, genuinely wasn't expecting anywhere near the kind of power I've seen on those stretches of water on an inland lake, maybe because I think it's hard for someone who has never seen it to truly get their head around its immense size, but wow the power of that lake would put the fear of God in anyone. RIP to the people who lost their lives that day or any other on that majestic lake.

    Wonder what we have in store here, as well. Right now, all of Northern Europe is in a big high pressure zone that barely moves. The weather is clear and nearly wind still, and if I was better equipped and had more time I would perhaps even go out in my canoe in the fjord. But the weather that comes ahead usually builds up in the Atlantic Ocean, south of Greenland. Where the low pressure storms just sit there, growing bigger and bigger. Seems it is so huge now, that the weather you've had at Lake Superior is part of the same system.
    It *will* hit Britain, closer to christmas perhaps, and then it's time for us in Scandinavia.
    Not a place to be out in a canoe, for sure!

    That's crazy, looks like ocean waves! Does anyone ever go out surfing, like ppl do in ocean storms when the waves are massive?

    I live in the little town in Minnesota that was hit by a tornado yesterday. Beautiful footage though.
