I grew up in Marquette and learned to swim in Lake Superior. in high school we lived on Hewitt Ave.across the street from the little green house on the Beach. I graduated 1975 ,went to NY. ,came back & the sound of the train moving on the tracks was gone, 5 yrs.later the water from the spring on Hewitt Ave hill ( with concrete castle over)was " Not Safe for Drinking" next visit, the coast guard had blown up my beloved FOGHORN😞, my cousin Fred Rydholm told me they had no permission to do so. the moral of this & all stories are Mother Nature is the one who is Truly in charge in our World. Man kind removed every sound from my childhood,except the one they were Not able to remove ,Lake Superior 🎼 the least & the Best we can do is Preserve it.🌎
My daughter was up on those very rocks on Monday. During the summer she used to cliff dive off those rocks. She thinks those rocks, where the man was standing are 15-18 ft. high. She saw the swells on Tuesday, amazing. She also had never seen anything like it. She imagines the water must have been very cold. The man who survived was truly blessed
Thank's for showing the force of the "Big Lake" Jerry! My sister lives on Ridge Street and she said her neighbor witnessed the couple swept into the lake yesterday, very sad!!! Be safe out there!
Reminder to the non locals, and locals do not attempt to be near lake superior when we have storms like this. Extremly life threatning. Message to our emergecny people, we need highly trained individuals near these places to keep people away from danger.
Sorry, but people have to take care of themselves! If they are STUPID enough, after plenty of warnings on TV and in papers/ on internet etc, to be so close to the lake then its their fault if they go in!!
Those rocks are about 15 feet above the water for scale. The ones shown for over a minute in the beginning. Its called The Black Rocks. People jump off of the rocks for fun in the summer. Lots of vids on here showing summertime action.
Two people died at the Black Rocks that day. They just found one body a few days ago, other still missing. People seem to think they are at a water park.
Hi Jerry,what kind of camera do you have? my sister lives 1/2 block up on Hewitt from where you did panorama from Lighthouse to Picnic Rocks & when I tryed spanning Shoreline,it didn't look so good,did you use a tripod?

Nice natural sound video, steady. Love a good Lake Superior storm, could watch an hour of this.
they're called the Great Lakes for a good reason. Respect is demanded to assure a safe passage.
I live on the shores of lake Erie, I know how powerful Erie is when she's mad. Lake Superior dwarfs it. Always respect the great lakes

You don't mess with Lake Superior. Or she'll mess with you!
I am not a local but I grew up by the ocean in Denmark, and we know that the power of water has to be respected. It is beautiful but life threatening.
Fantastic! Thanks for posting it.
This is amazing! I love
Lake Superior but this is even cooler!

Nothing can compare to the power and force of Mother Nature. You don't mess with her. So sorry to hear about the missing couple.
looks like the ocean, hard to imagine that I'm looking at fresh water

Memories of the Edmund Fitzgerald!
My Best Friends Dad was on the Edmond Fitzgerald and Passed Away , Russell G Haskell , Quite a Few Men were from Ohio . Toledo, Ohio Area.
At 3:41 in your video isn't that the guy who got knocked off the rocks by a large wave at that location?

Is it always like that this time of year.
Hi Debra,
I use an iPhone 7. The image stabilization makes for smoother shots even in 60mph winds.
Very sad
Great video, i hope these young people learned a valuable lesson.
purestskin don’t think it’s a ‘valuable’ lesson when it’s death.
We just had a day like this down in lake michigan.
