| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong low pressure system lifted across the Great Lakes and into Quebec Province. Persistent southeast winds preceded the system with a quick shift to southwest and increase in speed with the passage of a strong cold front. The combination of the wind shift, rapid strengthening of the wind speed and the long fetch up the length of Lake Erie produced a seiche on the lake. Water levels rose nearly six feet in just a few hours. The Lake Erie water level crested at Buffalo at 9.15 feet. This was one of the most significant events in recent years. Flooding was reported along the lake shore from Sunset Bay in northern Chautauqua County to Angola, in Buffalo especially along Route 5, on Grand Island and on Cayuga Island. Route 5 was completely closed multiple times due to high water and debris on the roadway. Canalside in Buffalo flood and a barge sank along with at least one water rescue via the Coast Guard. |
