  1. Erie also has a ‘bathtub’ issue. Due to the shallowness and the strong winds, Erie once flooded Buffalo NY. Port Clinton OH recently was so bare due to the wind people were walking on the dry lake bed.

  2. The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down

    Of the big lake, they called Gitche Gumee

    The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead

    When the skies of November turn gloomy

    With a load of iron ore, twenty-six thousand tons more

    Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty

    That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed

    When the gales of November came early

    RIP to all those who died in the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior

  3. OMG , I appreciate the visuals, but please, when making comparisons you have to keep the standard of comparison the same for all examples. Using a football field is brilliant, as you did for lake Erie, but then you moved on to other comparisons. We lose perspective when you do this.
