| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The initial gust front, associated with the derecho discussed in a separate episode, passed the Cook Buoy (45026) near Stevensville, MI around 5:55 pm when waves were reportedly one foot. By 6:20 pm, waves had climbed to four feet and a meteotsunami was reported by an off-duty NWS employee who was at Lion���s Park Beach. Water levels rose approximately one and one half foot above the mean levels by that time, and flooding was reported along Lion���s Park Drive through the evening. Wave heights at the Cook Buoy peaked at around five feet at 8:40 pm. According to the Berrien County EMA, there was lakeshore flooding also reported in New Buffalo, MI, which lasted into the late evening hours. A seiche could be seen at various water level gauges across Lake Michigan into the next day (Tuesday August 11th, 2020), with the most extreme fluctuations extending from shortly after the storm passed until about 5 am EDT. Lesser fluctuations of up to one foot continued through around 10 am EDT. No specific damage amounts were noted as near record high water levels and periodic high wave action continue to cause extensive erosion. |
