Historic Great Lakes Windstorm & Lake Erie Ice Shove - Full Vid - 02/24/2019

[@steven2212]

As a Minnesotan, these clips bring back memories. Weather up north is not for the faint hearted, it takes a special kind of person to call it home. Great vid.

[@minnil7927]

I read this with my thickest northern accent I could muster. From Wisconsin, but I’m stuck In Chicago for school right on the lake tho. Chicago is the south as far as I’m concerned. No snow on thanksgiving? Bogus as fuck

[@21LAZgoo]

yeah man. just a few thousand years ago, it was under 1-2 miles of ice

[@truthoverlies6434]

Well they imported a whole bunch of Somali so-called "refugees," and they don't seem to have any problem living there. They get to commit crime with impunity too, which is a bonus.

[@dirtfarmer65]

Saskatchewan is even colder. 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

[@antonboludo8886]

The strangest part is that it is not even located that far north. The same latitudes in Europe are much milder.

[@TheReefRobber]

That’s an incredible amount of force to move that much ice!

[@scrapcash2421]

The wind drives the water, and water is the most powerful source on earth.

[@TheReefRobber]

@@scrapcash2421 yessir!

[@Sure-wj1vf]

And so fast

[@21LAZgoo]

it’s crazy just a few thousand years ago this place was buried under 1-2 miles of ice

[@normansilver905]

Think of the potential damage to bridges crossing those water courses over those creeks and rivers.

[@r.deeblanche6939]

Thanks. Been trying to explain to my wife why I don’t think a 40 degree night in Los Angeles is ‘freezing cold.’ Just showed her this and said ‘this is where I grew up.’

[@scrapcash2421]

With wind speeds like these, it was probably colder than -40 below! LOL

[@lisamariemary]

The thought of being there is making my bones hurt.

[@21LAZgoo]

@@scrapcash2421 yeah man

[@drophammer776]

Someone complains how their cold in Las Angeles forever they are labeled a Sissy. 😂

[@epistte]

@@lisamariemary This is spring in northern Ohio. Its about 35-40° for ice to be moving on the lake because of the wind. If it was below zero the ice would still be on the lake and solid.

[@shanesmaineshop]

incredible footage, thanks for sharing.

[@Relayer6a]

Amazing Vid. People who have never lived in the upper 48 can't imagine this. I lived in upstate NY in winter of '95 - '96 when the Hudson river rose up and swallowed a city block and then froze back over until spring. We had a record snowfall and then before the snow could be cleared had January thaw conditions. Then winter returned.

[@GordiansKnotHere]

That was a year of hard winter in NY.

[@CraigArndt]

I remember that storm. Took out a huge section of the Buffalo breakwall by the south gap. Lost a several pontoons from the ice boom. But probably the worst was all the houses that had damage in Woodlawn by Bethlehem steel. Crazy storm.

[@bonefishboards]

Whoa! I guess bicycling and jogging on that path was a bit more challenging that day.

[@carolstefan7662]

Beautiful to watch Morher Nature!

[@tapiteasy]

No way I could ever live in weather like this. I would cry all the time.

[@cindybonem494]

It’s awesome! There’s something about this type of weather that energizes your soul, the storms are loud!!! But the next day it’s so still, with vivid blue skies and total strangers are excited to talk to each other about “surviving” the storm and if they had any damage, I don’t think you would cry for long😂 it gets into you.

[@mlliexxxnikki]

We definitely cry a lot, but it's not because of the weather I can promise you that! Lmao

[@adamsmith3996]

its not so bad. it was over 70 today in Buffalo

[@adamsmith3996]

[@tapiteasy]

I'm glad you guys can find beauty in this. Just looking at the ice in the river is making me shiver. I just cannot imagine living like this. I would like to see it just once, maybe. LOL

[@reynaldoescamilla6396]

wow amazing,...thank you from San Antonio, Texas

[@phph1731]

That’s impressive. Thanks for posting.

[@ArielVisionary]

I've never seen ice piling up and tumbling in blocks like this footage as it piles into trees on the shore.

[@Future_looksbright]

So amazing how powerful nature is/can be.

[@woodhonky3890]

Never knew there were bridges across any great lakes (referring to title). Wild stuff at any rate!

[@scrapcash2421]

There are dozens. There are 3 International Bridges alone in Michigan. Bridges like the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron deal with very fast water speeds. You will die if you fall in with no life jacket. It is very dangerous. Dozens of boats have to be rescued every year. Standing on shore, it's very impressive to see water move like that.

[@edwardpapera8124]

This is Definitely!! one of those, you have to see it, to Believe it. 😲

[@guynorth3277]

This is a great video, talk about perfect timing, it's hard to catch the ice when it might be reacting this way.

[@robertschilz8601]

I was there the next night and as a point of reference at 4:32 in the video there is a yellow and black arrow sign on the light pole. The top of that sign is 6 feet off the ground. At 4:39 in the video there is a chunk of ice sitting on the grass below the arrow sign that was 2 feet thick. If I remember correctly there was ice in that area till late June possibly till early July.

[@lynndemartini9379]

Yep - the combo of wind and water ain't about no bullshit!!!

[@trainrover]

oo la...I couldn't grasp what ice shoves must be when reading about them...I can't imagine how shoremen must've fended them off back in the 1800s, sparing port facilities downstream here

[@janeshipley6993]

just beautiful - thanks! 🌬🌊

[@terrytytula]

Those bridge piers need a steel, for lack of better words snow plow like the ones on trains. That way the force of the ice would be deflected to the sides.

[@Nathan-gj8ch]

They have that. most of the ones on the ohio river even have that steel plate.

[@scrapcash2421]

Bridge piers like that up here are specially designed to withstand ice flows. They go through it every year all winter long. They are plenty strong enough!

[@danbasta3677]

Now this isn't Lake Superior here, however this gives you an idea what the giant ore freighter The Edmund Fitzgerald went though when it was tossed about on the night she went down with the loss of all 29 of those guys back on November 10, 1975.

[@minnil7927]

To the tale of edmund Fitzgerald *music hums* god damn I miss home. Nobody knows who that is down here in Chicago! fucking southerners

[@bulldawg6259]

Does anyone know where I could get ice for my beer cooler?

[@misssmisssymaria]

This is beautiful, those ice chunks were enormous! But, no thank you. I’ll just sit here in my warm Southern California beach lol

[@Relaxation-Clips]

[@ArielVisionary]

If you broadcast this video on KZbin, I wonder why it would have the notice that it is "not for broadcast".

[@ONwxchaser]

Maybe because I'm the owner of the video and it would be stolen otherwise?

[@scrapcash2421]

I have seen this happen plenty of times on Lake Huron and Superior. I often laugh when they talk about Hurricanes hitting Florida and the Gulf.

[@gulfgypsy]

We went from the freezer to the frying pan, as it were --- Hurricanes suck. But usually one has sufficient notice about where it might track and take the needed steps -- Beating the rush to evacuate if needs be. Most down here though tend to make sure there have needed hurricane supplies in case power goes out, they put away things outside which would be a hazard and the smart ones don't wait until the last minute to top off their gas and make sure they have food, water and other supplies. Up north we dealt with that harsh weather much the same way: Never went out without being properly dressed in the winter with back up emergency supplies in the truck. Before winter hit we'd make sure the house had a good going over and it was weather ready. Check and double check we had several cords of wood in case in case we lost power and had to rely on the wood stove for heating and cooking. Made sure the pantry and basement was stocked and if we were looking at a *really* cold snap, double up on insulation on pipes that were near an exterior wall. We also made sure to always keep our bird feeding stations with plenty of food since birds will know to go there and if it runs out, that could literally cost those darling chickadees their life.
