Uh-oh.

If you are worried, then I am scared.

Please be safe, everyone! Here's to a winter that is not as bad as is feared.

Blowing pretty good here yet. Gusts up to 72MPH so far they say, with steady winds 30+. I know the one gust that hit 72 cost me a bit today. Turned my tripod over and tumbled it and my camera across a sand dune. Hopefully it can be repaired, if not... .

Here are a few I took before it got roached (at least my Memory card didn't get full of sand.)

Beautiful shots, Bydand. Michigan is so beautiful, especially near the Lake.

Also, I'm surprised it's sunny. You would expect lake effect rain (or snow) in those conditions.

It pretty much fizzled here. We did not get much wind at all.

Today is somewhat windy, but nothing to get excited about.

There was a lot of hype about what was coming, but it amounted to nothing.

Nice pics! Looks like what I saw over in Petoskey a few hours ago so I'll not post mine.

I did see something of a phenomena that I've not seen in all my years of living up here through many similar storms......When up on a hill overlooking the bay you could see white streaks across the bay where the wind was picking up heavy mist from the tops of waves and creating a huge, wide sheet of bright white clouds laying on the water. The streaks lasted for about a minute until the wind gusts calmed down. Amazing sights out there today. It's been decades since this kind of intensity has been seen.

At the south pier this morning when a wave would break around the marker light the mist would be blown across the harbor mouth and it would be a huge rainbow colored mist from top to bottom. Unfortunately I was shooting some dark shots yesterday and forgot I left my camera set to 800 ISO and those photos came out real grainy, but the time I noticed it, the sun had changed it's angle and it wasn't doing it anymore.

Doesn't look good for the camera. I'm going to have to send it in, but I have a feeling it is going to cost me a new camera body. Which sucks because that isn't happening before next Spring at the earliest.

O' , I thought you were talking about something else.
No , the storm 35 years ago was not as intense as what we had yesterday. We broke all records since recorded in 1961. However , its still wind , on land. Lots of power outages,schools closed, and trees down in Marquette County.
Its all about wind direction, If you remember the sinking of the EF was a " hurricane west wind". Lake Superior is so huge that by the time the wind and weather crosses the lake , northwest to south east , the wave build up can be tremendous. as it reaches the shore and Whitefish bay..
What has saved us up here was the off shore southeasterly, not so much on Lake Michigan , as we are seeing.
