Mother Nature On The Great Lake Superior

Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes.

When the winds blow the lake churns up into a dangerous body of water. The winds blow hard in October and November. Of course that time of year, the water freezes as it hits shore.

Lake Superior is famous for its shipwrecks because of its violent storms, winds, and waves. Gordon Lightfoot sang about the famous wreck and sinking of the Edmond Fitzgerald when all aboard were killed. I posted a video of his famous song below the storm wave video.

I have lived close to the lake most of my life and have many times seen the violence of the lake with my own eyes.It's just stunning.

Here is a short video of massive waves hitting the North Shore of Lake Superior. As you can see the water freezes and the whole shore turns to ice.

The winds were over 50 miles an hour and some of the waves were over 20 feet.

Keep in mind the cliffs you see are over 50 feet tall.
