'Ice tsunami' on Lake Erie after strong winds
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 фев 2019
- High winds have blasted much of northern New York state, cutting power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses, closing schools and pushing mounds of ice on to the shores of Lake Erie. The ice was on the water's surface but was blown off the lake and on to the shore.

I cant believe he actually got it too...
Kudos to the guy filming in that cold wet wind.
im guessing you're from the south.
@@billyfraiser6298 No no Billy I'm an icefishermen and winter beachcomer, even hammock camp in the snow, so I have a good notion of what the filmer delt with.
@@potcrak1 True
@@billyfraiser6298 Not many people in the north like to stand in the cold wet wind.
@@potcrak1 lol! So there billy🤣... jk
Why does yt always have to show us the interesting things like 2 years later.....
factz
@@alkdjfhgks1919 Lmaooo~ yea why are we like 'mindblown'?
@@alkdjfhgks1919 True but idk Hahah
Sometimes its even 4 years later.

Talk about right place and the right time!! So this is truly awesome footage!
I was there too.
Anything
Never seen that before wow.
Me too
Same
Allahu Ekber!!!!.
Gotta admit that was pretty cool
Yes cool ice lol.
I agree
pretty cold*

This happens almost every year up here in Buffalo NY/ Fort Erie Ontario. Sometimes the winds can whip up so strong, the ice has nowhere else to go. There is an ice boom stretched over the mouth of the Upper Niagara RIver, holding the ice back until it begins to melt in the spring. Cool footage.
This is actually Fort Erie, Ontario, not New York state.
I seen the same thing happen in Bad Axe, on Lake Huron about 15 years ago. The sheet rose up out of the water much higher, then crashed on the beach, it just kept coming.
It was pretty cool, but scary, like it was never going to stop.
Thanks for sharing.
Great footage! That just looks crazy.
The ice sheet gathered momentum slowly from the wind action over the lake and when it got to shore it was like a train that couldn’t simply stop but had to keep moving until all that energy was dissipated. Great video.
Never underestimate the immense power of Mother Nature.
Did the red cup survive? That's all I need to know! Oh The terror!!!!
He.... He died.
Pretty rare to get that kind of footage! Scary too, though...getting too close could've spelled BIG trouble!
After a hard winter, I've seen much larger piles of ice on the US side of the Lake Erie shore south of Buffalo. I knew the wind must have blown it there, but it never occurred to me that its formation would be so sudden and cataclysmic. I've also seen massive pressure ridges out on the lake where huge, wind-driven ice floes have collided.
That ice tsunami literally dammed itself.
I grew up in Michigan on Lake Erie. I can remember watching the lake do this from time to time. Powerful. I miss the water. The only thing I get to see when I look out my window now is corn and soybeans.
Having lived more than half my life next to big water, I will always need to be near it now. Feel for ‘ya. Must be a miserable existence out there with the veggies.
Are you in a farm prison?
I heard of this on the radio here in New Jersey.....my goodness, so amazing to see.
Lake Erie is always having weird weather phenomena going on around it... I’m tryna move there.
This was in fort Erie, Ontario. Not in New York State.
@@YanksandBritsProductions ........and Ohio.
Red Sox! this was near Fort Erie Ontario. Look at a map. It was on the shore along the Niagara Parkway. You can see Buffalo in the distance.
I live on the lake, this has happened before, usually at night. One year back in the late 70's early 80's we had 30' mountains along the Ohio side. I can remember climbing them.
I have lived in Cleveland.This is Lake Erie and it gets rough shoveling the snow!
Went to see the lake ice yesterday. It was truly amazing and at least 10 feet high in some areas.
Looks like this was filmed from the Ontario side of lake Erie, pretty sure that's Buffalo off in the distance on the other side of the coast.
Why? Did it look dirty?
Yep. You're correct. It's in Ontario. I expected more accurate reporting from the Guardian.
It is on the Niagara River about 1 mile downstream from the mouth (start) of the river at Lake Erie. I live 1 bl8ck away and saw it all.
60mph winds and higher.
Yes Buffalo.
@@rickb4806
I live on the west side of Buffalo, I saw some crazy surges coming in off the lake down by the peace bridge a few blocks down.
I live here \o/, it was crazy hearing this, I live right beside the lake in Fort erie
Unusual footage, to say the least. Well done.
Very impressive! Thanks for the video even I’m seeing this today!
Good film job - you stood your ground without running away.
Council: " Who keeps trashing out signs?"
Awesome footage. Congrats on the catch.
Try sleeping at night when the ice decide to start to break up and come on the shore. The ground shakes and thunders. It is impossible to sleep and the powerful ice is being pushed up on the shore.
I always ride my bike along this lake wall when I'm bike-hiking through Fort Erie.
This destroyed walls that went back to before the War of 1812.
John Watt - A similar ice tsunami destroyed the original fort built in the 1760's. The foundations were excavated in the summer of 2019 by an archaeological team from Western University in London.
@@susieq9801: Wow! When I bike-hike through this area I walk around the front of the Fort, where we used to picnic as a family and as clan. I thought it was Parks employees, digging and cleaning up rock debris, so I stopped to talk and they were very friendly and informative for five minutes or so. You just explained their behavior with me, nice. This last few years, in the summer, I could be going through here once or twice a week, on my way to the Parkway and Niagara Falls, coming from Welland. It's more than nice for me to sit in the shade and eat apples from the same trees I ate from as a child. Thanks for bringing back memories.
idk how ppl live there. i can practically feel the freezing wind though the screen.
Kudos for getting this on camera and horizontal no less!
I’m shocked at this discovery... a video of a phenomenon occurring where the resolution isn’t 16P and recorded on a potato!
Thats a small one. You should see the mess in blindriver Ontario. Lake Huron pushed ice piles 30 plus feet high. They say last time it did this was 70 years ago.
Spring 2021 is so off this year
Great video man. Good stuff.
My goodness! I have never seen anything like that before! Thank you for taking this video. 🙂👍
Oh the humanity
I just can imagine the cold 🥶 in that place.
First is snows in LA now there’s an ice tsunami somewhere
AuroraX7 erie PA awesome place to live I've never seen that from the great lake before to cool.
And record snow in Hawaii, Las Vegas and Saudi Arabia...hmmmm
@@chrisgillespie1177 Not a tsunamis.
Ice push being onto shore by high winds. Happens often.
This ice surge is on Niagara River in Canada not PA.
The north pole is shifting.
Not climate change
@@chrisgillespie1177 fort erie ontario canada actually
Good for you! And good for me to see it !!
Great to see this at the start. How long did you stand in that cold to get this??
You asume that they knew it was going to happen, worth a wait anyway
@@Darenz-cg9zg Cold for you maybe. This was filmed around Buffalo and we never see -30... So cold for most people is anything at or around freezing.
Awesome video! That Would be epic to see in person!
When the guy filming first spoke, he sounded a lot like Linda Belcher
Awesome video!
The power of the wind is unbelievable.
Amazing video, and a great, impressive undertaking!!
Tim's cup be like " you wont crush me today!! "
That is so weird like someone is pushing the ice up over the edge 😳
That is one of the coolest things I've seen .
Great footage👍 I'm wondering though, wht was the Wind Chill Factor. Being an ex utility guy, I wouldn't want to be up a lift correcting a problem on a utility pole in all that wind and cold. Brrrrr.
I can't believed too that you got it
Regular winter tsunami in Minnesota.
That was awesome and absolutely terrifying! 😳😫
Excited to see it or to photograph it.
Dude cool video, thumbs up.
Even the wind sounds icy.
It looks scary, where did all that ice come from
What in the....... Um okay that's not something you see every day now is it?
I have never seen anything like this, amazing.
Great capture!
Fort Erie is in Ontario though.
Ice and wind is very destructive and yet I am surprised that the concrete wall remained intact.
Nope. Ice is melted now and wall is destroyed.
meanwhile the north of the UK is basically having its summer now.
Those Lakes are a world of their own
😱Amazing Force of Mother Nature ❗great vid👍
OMG that's wild!
I can swim today. The water’s not that cold!
The water today:
I'm not where to visit, Erie Lake or Venice, Italy?
On the great lakes we love making terrifying combinations of things, like ice tsunamis, and thunder snow.
Where is it this place ?
that's scary and still beautiful...
Just across the lake from Buffalo ny
I can only think of having to shovel all that ice from the front of my driveway, oh my arms are sore already just from shovelling the snow
That’s near me! Awesome!
Did anyone else notice the lone Coke a cola can rolling down the sidewalk, staying just out of harm's way of the ice? Guessing his ole polar bear friend tipped him off that arctic danger was nigh lol
Wow! Mother Nature is no joke! Just powerful! Nice footage.. 👍
Imagine this happened to all lakes in Canada without no one seeing it happen.
This is the real expression breaking the ice 🧊😅
Wow.
Awesome catch !
😳🥶 increíble, primera vez que veo algo así.
Who else thought the thumbnail was gonna be clickbait👁👄👁
Water is so powerful to move that ice.
Wow. This is scary
Just need a surf board to ride the ice waves....
Incredible
Great, video!. Not vertical.
This is fine.
I felt bad for the milk carton. It looked like it wanted to play, but the ice said No to that.
whoa! that's a lot of ice!
I am the crazy person who would run up and grab the milk carton to throw it away...I am that crazy eco person!
Yea sure you are love but i bet you flush baby wipe though.
That's what I kept saying - I hope someone gets to pic that up when it is safer
@@instahood29 I bet you used to have more intelligence than you currently do. I'm guessing you're a 54 year old Englishman who spends a considerable amount of time on Facebook sharing political memes and thinking they're actual facts.
It’s the Ocean Master.
Wow man.....
Wow!
I love when it freezes over and you can walk across the lake
Whoa, amazing!
Does this happen often up there or is this a freak of nature occurrence ?
By looking at the way the wall is built, I would think that this doesn't happen very often.
Happens occasionally.
These forces are so insane!
i can't believe the person shooting the footage is still there.
Remarkable
