Episode narrativeepisode_narrativePersistent strong east to northeast winds of 20 to 30 knots with frequent gusts of 30 to 40 knots resulted in high waves of 8 to 12 feet for a 12 to 18 hour period from the evening of October 24th through the afternoon of October 25th. A few gusts of 40 to 45 knots occurred as well. The Lake Michigan water level was still about 3 feet above the long term average. The combination of these factors produced high surf and localized lakeshore flooding along the Lake Michigan shore during this period.
Event narrativeevent_narrativePersistent high waves estimated at 8 to 12 feet lasted for about an 18 hour period and frequently overtopped a damaged break wall. This resulted in damaging several moored vessels at the South Shore Yacht Club. One vessel broke its mooring and washed up on a rocky shoreline area causing additional damage.
