It's blowing out on Lake Superior right now. Some expect up to 28-foot waves! Earlier today the Arthur M. Anderson was at hook in Whitefish Bay just east of Paradise, MI but we got word from a Wheelsman (and friend) ''STORM WARRIOR''   Great Lakes Sailor/ Keith Baker of the Anderson it was blowing so bad in Whitefish Bay they had to head south and take hook (anchor) near Brimley, MI. Thanks for this picture, Keith. Stay safe out there...you're all in our thoughts tonight.

That’s an angry body of water 

I was out on Lake Erie on the Team Baja 420 back in '99 

even that lake blew me away as a Long Island Sound Guy. it got nasty 4 footers we were running 104 mph. The Great Lakes are insane 

 

Had a big freighter anchored in chequamegon bay hiding from the wind this morning. I've only seen that happen 3 or 4 times in the 10 yrs I've lived here. 

I talked to my parents today and they said it has been stupid windy up there all day. The bridge has been closed most of the day as well. They live just south of the locks. 

For fucks sake. Just stay home. 

Hopefully some big snows hit da yoop!

Holy cry!
