Huge waves on Great Lakes

A rapidly strengthening storm system will whip up the Great Lakes on Monday, bringing powerful winds and extreme wave heights. Open-water waves are expected to reach 25–30 feet, with Lake Superior potentially seeing waves over 30 feet, bigger than the waves that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald.

No idea what the wave were on the lake, but we have winds so strong they are blowing everything that is not weighted down. Furniture is tossed around the yard, contained only by the fence. Steel panels 8' long were wrapped around my living room porch pillars. The house is vibrating. Windows are creaking. It is crazy out there.

YUP, rain here too.

Several inches have been reported.

My back field is a lake.

We were driving about 4pm and it was nuts with the water over the roads along the fields.

Temp has dropped over 30 degrees (F) from 5pm to 9pm and it is predicted to drop well below freezing. So all this excess water and mud will become a dirty popsicle by morning.

Fun times.

Hopefully we don't see a replay of the song by Gordon Lightfoot on the GREAT LAKE they call Gitche Gumee . . .

 
The river at my place is up about 2 feet because the wind is pushing all the water south.
I'd post a link to the beach camera but it's a white out so you can't see the waves crashing over the lighthouse.
 
Very strong winds here. The temperature was at the freezing point yesterday. We totally avoided the snow thankfully however the area just east of us is getting nailed currently. All the roads are closed and some areas are too dangerous for even the plows due to visibility.

Our highest wind here was 67 mph around 6:45 this morning.
No power outages, believe it or not.
The winds have calmed a bit and we got very little snow.
 
We got the same treatment out here for a week, had a few dry days and tomorrow it starts again for at least another week
