A meteotsunami slammed into the shore of Lake Michigan on June 25. The weather event, in which large waves are generated by air-pressure disturbances, caused water to rise 2 feet, according to The Weather Channel.

I misread the title as "Watch a megatsunami strike a Lake Michigan shoreline" and was expecting to see a giant wall of water.

Tsunami missed the leeward side of the jetty - it looks like wind surge on the beach.

I feel like this was poorly named for no reason.

I thought it was going to be very bad but it just seems like the tides.

It would have been nice to have had a location listed somewhere, just to satisfy our curiosity.

Wow, I wonder how long that actually took. Thank you for sharing.

What does title mean by a Lake Michigan? There is only one Lake Michigan

I’ve been rock hunting on Lake Superior when something similar happened. It was yooperlite hunting so it was the middle of the night and at a specific beach my wife and I had never been to before. Luckily there was about 200 yards of beach on this particular spot which we didn’t realize until we went back a second time. Showing up at 10pm because of the 3 hour drive and last minute decision to go. It was spring so it was cold, rainy and windy. We got a quarter of a mile or so down from where we started off and noticed a large sea wall behind us about 6 feet high but it was 100 feet or so back there behind us so it wasn’t a major concern but the waves kept pushing us back and again and then again as we walked along not noticing how close we were getting this sea wall. We still had 50-60 feet between the strongest wave and the backstop that with cold weather gear and bucket of rocks no way we could climb it so we started back toward the way off the car. Being that we got there in the dark and I’m not talking about city dark. I’m talking middle of nowhere, rain storm, Lake Superior dark. We weren’t in any kind of hurry and hadn’t given a second thought to that sea wall being there for a reason. As we got closer to the exit the water ended up pushing our backs hard against that sea wall. Big chunks of ice in the water some remaining snow on the beach. 50 mph winds rain and cold it was a stark reminder of just how powerful the Great Lakes really are

Meteotsunamis are pretty much large waves sprouted from meteorological circumstances. Strong winds from this squall pushing in caused a large enough wave to be considered a meteotsunami. They are quite small compared to actual tsunamis.
