Hoosier Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Probably until 1-ish CDT. Getting some 60mph+ gusts. Wave action is decent, but under 25ft. Did you have any trouble getting in there? I heard they are/were going to be closing some access points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Do you have a link to the eastlake ohio webcam? Looks like there is a lot of land missing that was there yesterday? Eastlake is one of the more vulnerable areas in NE OH to shoreline erosion. Go here > http://www.wunderground.com/webcams/ ... and then click on Ohio. --- Developing story out of Pleasant Prairie, WI, 5 miles from where I am at. Sand bagging is going on along the lake front from Kenosha to the state line. An area called Carol Beach is and has been in the past vulnerable to the giant waves on LM. There is a voluntary evacuation in place within 2 block of the lake. Wave forecasts are between 10-15 feet between 1-3pm. I plan on heading down that way during that time to scope the situation. There has already been reports of trees down and a few power outages in the area. http://journaltimes.com/news/local/state-and-regional/no-reports-of-flooding-in-pleasant-prairie/article_d3d1ba4c-2293-11e2-ba20-001a4bcf887a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Can we just go back to the weather we had in June & July this year?

Chicago Storm Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Did you have any trouble getting in there? I heard they are/were going to be closing some access points. I didn't have any issues. They are patrolling the area though. Seeing a few larger waves that are probably closer to 25ft+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Foster - What's the update of the number of power outages in Ontario? Quebec? Wind gusts seem to be getting a bit stronger here. According to CP24 more than 150,000 customers lost power with a peak of 60,000 in Toronto down to 32,000 by 10am. Dozens of schools are closed across the GTA due to the outages and damage. Here is a gallery of the damage across the GTA. As for Quebec: 49,000 customers lost power with Hydro-Quebec still reporting 32,000 customers without power as of noon. So, approximately 200,000 customers lost their hydro so far in ON/QC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 75 mph gust was recorded 70 metres above ground on the Bluewater Bridge connecting Sarnia, ON to Port Huron, MI. The official Sarnia measurements were recorded at the airport which is about 2 miles west of the edge of the city and 2 miles south of Lake Huron. The winds may have been even stronger than that within the urban area of the city. It's also worth nothing that Sarnia, a city of 73,000, was absolutely pounded last night with lakeshore and street flooding,, city-wide blackout(affecting all the city's 30,000 customers), and possibly hundreds of downed trees and hydro lines. Local officials are calling it some of the worst damage they have seen in the city. No estimates are available yet and they are still surveying the damage.

OHweather Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Had just enough time to drive down to the Cuyahoga River in Independence/Valley View before work.

Geos Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I ventured down to the lakefront this afternoon. No coastal flooding from big waves in Kenosha County that I could see - although police and officials were patrolling the lakeshore. Probably more so because there was so many people down there! Definitely saw some coastal erosion and part of a wave break/wall along the lake that toppled in. Got some good pictures and video to post in awhile. Highest wind gusts that I could find was about 43 mph in the immediate area - at Kenosha Harbor. Waves were easily between 10-12 feet along this shoreline!
