[@randpherigo9724]

Lake Michigan is big & DANGEROUS.. I fell asleep in my kayak and woke to 20 Mph winds about three four miles out.. I couldnt get back to shore..was paddling in place for an hour.. Prayers were getting serious.. i had my phone & GPS it took the coast guard a while to find me..

[@EasyGrowin420]

That’s absolutely wild. Glad you’re okay

[@stevenshoemaker8326]

Must’ve had some good drinks to fall asleep kayaking lol

[@zombiefrmdaded]

That’s scary af

[@randpherigo9724]

@@stevenshoemaker8326 I did have one tall can of beer.. it was sunny and had the anchor down.. winds are totally unpredictable and it was only 15 mph.. Believe me, it was enough to get me out there fast .. I'm doubling the size of the anchor ⚓.. but in a sandy bottom .. won't matter.

[@randpherigo9724]

@@EasyGrowin420 it was a perfect day.. had the anchor ⚓ down 👎 sandy bottom won't hold you if it's windy.. lake Michigan has claimed more lives than all Great lakes combined.. the wind pushes you out there.. without a decent motor it could happen

I was expecting to see waves, not people talking

[@JWStreeter]

Thats the problem with legacy media. 90% talking, 10% footage. Theyre all so narcissistic they think people actually want to hear what they say

[@mattknowski1615]

Would have been cool to actually see some waves... More than 7 sec worth anyway...

[@benneebean8199]

those were not nearly 18 feet

[@renegomezcolon12]

They've never seen real big waves. Probably 18 feet of travel

[@jenniferpoland8886]

The jet stream brought in a cold front in Michigan. It's fall now. The earth is turning. So the seasons can change.

[@joey4277]

They count the hight as the wave hits something not the actual 3 foot wave

[@klimentpetrov8789]

What means 18ft, how many meters is that

[@IvanNava]

About 5.5 meters high

[@jennygangspeaks]

And supposedly a girl went swimming in here voluntarily 🙅🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️

[@snakeeyes74]

Clickbait. 18' ? Gonna need proof of that, which is obviously not shown.

[@froggiman1]

What? News stations never lie! Never!!!!!!!!!!! We the serfs are just measuring wrong.

[@Hexagon234]

They have to build a recurved seawalls so the waves can't get in

[@anam.o.schroder4235]

Why? Its not the sea .In switzerland we have sometimes Föhn , a strong wind from the mountais but not in such way as in this lake

[@turdferguson2]

Definitely not 18 foot faces but ok

[@joey4277]

You know it was a man that wrote this exaggerating "18foot waves"

[@rottenroads1982]

Those are the Kind of Storms that can Sink Giant LakeBoats.

[@sea9994]

Makes me want to learn to surf.. Maybe a little cold however pandemic makes risk taking a rebel Yello thing why not go out like a point break Johhny Utah..

[@nobodysreview6137]

I'll give Beatlejuice $10 if she can surf an 18 footer

[@chicagonorthcoast]

I'm very familiar with the buildings in Rogers Park shown here. This is why I would never buy into them.

[@ggexpeditions867]

The waves aren’t that big there like 5 ft 😂

[@kelcritcarroll]

Wow! I hope all the frighters were at anchor during this!

[@emilycoley9037]

18 foot waves huh? Gtfoh

[@froggiman1]

How dare you question the news. Obviously we are measuring wrong. To get the correct height of 18' you need to ask "What is a .......foot?"

You mean because he is doing something healthy like running…..because we all know a republican is probably in his chair as usual!

Swimming is allowed for Beetlejuice and Democrats.....🏊‍♀️

Just normal for Lake Michigan this time of year. The Tides are Shifting.

Yep! Love the BIG waves!!

Change of seasons, it happens every fall and in the winter.

[@Semper_Iratus]

Global warming. Global warming. Global warming.

[@jenniferpoland8886]

We had alot of storms in Michigan since last weekend. It got colder here. So how is that global warming? It's in the 40s here.

[@rberks5]

Actually, this does happen every so often. There have been a few cases of the waves reaching Lake Shore Drive.

[@jenniferpoland8886]

How is it global warming, when it just was the first day of fall. Plus the temperatures dropped?? The great lakes have always had gale forced winds. In the fall and in the winter. I live in Michigan I've seen it my whole life.

[@Siwashable]

yes, because inclement weather is a new phenomenon... oh boy...

[@gunreal8153]

Please don’t tell me you think Lake Michigan is the ocean…

was that a male of female reporter? hard to tell anymore...
