    Lake Michigan waves slam Chicago lakeshore

    CHICAGO — Winds gusting up to 65 mph caused Lake Michigan waves to slam into the Chicago shoreline, sending water onto part of Lake Shore Drive. The waves slowed traffic and prompted the cancellation of a Halloween attraction.

    Parts of the scenic highway were flooded Friday, leading to some lane closures. Traffic was backed up for miles.

    The high waves prompted Navy Pier, one of Chicago's top tourist attractions, to close its eastern end. Navy Pier officials also canceled a haunted house that's located on a barge. Officials later announced the barge was taking on water and the attraction is closed permanently.


    The National Weather Service issued a lakeshore flood advisory to remain in effect until 4 a.m. Saturday. The warning forecasts winds of up to 50 mph and 23-foot waves.

    Monstrous Lake Michigan waves top 21 feet: See photos from Great Lakes

    The southern buoy, located in the middle of the lake due west of Holland, recorded a 21.7-foot wave height earlier this afternoon. That mark ties for the second tallest height ever recorded for that buoy, according to the National Weather Service in Chicago.

    It, too, measured a wind speed of 59 mph, just below its all-time highest speed at 62 mph set on Nov. 10, 1998.

    Yeah. Lake Erie is forecast 8-11s today. The problem with 11 footers on Lake Erie is that they are 11 feet apart.
