High waves up to 18 feet slam Lake Michigan shoreline

[randpherigo]

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..

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

[jennyvinyl]

I was expecting to see waves, not people talking

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

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

[jackquinn]

Weathermen: the weather conditions are very dangerous
Also weathermen: stands right in from of 18 foot wave in question

[anam.o.schroder]

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

[klimentpetrov]

What means 18ft, how many meters is that

[snakeeyes]

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

[joey]

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

[Hexagon]

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

[jennygangspeaks]

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

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..

[nobodysreview]

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

[kelcritcarroll]

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

[chicagonorthcoast]

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