    That's nasty !

    At first I thought it said a Stecz warning.....which also causes dramatic changes in Sea level.

    It happened around 4 yrs ago at the Chicago Poker Run. We were all in the resort Saturday night when the harbor master came in and said there were boats tied to the walls that were hanging by there cleats or even sitting on there props. I was driving back from the Boyne run today and drove through a NASTY storm. There were two trucks blown over in the North bound lane of 69 just inside of Indiana.

    Seiche's happen quite often on the lake during storms. Most of them raise and lower the lake by a foot or so and don't last long. No worries the lake should be back to normal for the races!!!!

    Our levels were funky on the extreme western shore of Lake Erie today. Hmm.

    I used the current to dock when I came back from a run.

    I remember that, we were in a well and not affected since I think they were floating docks, but it was really weird to see boats hanging from their cleats
