    Slowing the speed down, as you've done, really shows the immense power and energy of nature. Breathtakingly awesome!

    They're like thus all over the lake .just imagine the Fitzgerald out there getting hammered by these waves constant..frightening though .the great lakes are a wonder to behold, but very dangerous too ..rest in peace all you sailors who have lost their life's on the lakes. God bless You....peace .✝️

    I see some people comment that these waves aren't as crazy as they're described to be, but you have to realize that they aren't predictable, cyclical waves. They're random and moving in all directions. Like another commenter said, its like a giant bathtub, rather than an open ocean. Perfect analogy.
    I've lived in MI all my life and used to camp in the UP every summer with my family. We went to Porcupine Mountains to camp and hike one summer in 1997 when i was 7 years old. At about 8AM, i woke up before everyone else at our campsite and could hear the distant sound of crashing waves from the shore. I decided to sneak away from the tent and go check it out.
    The shore was littered with jagged boulders and everything was slippery. It was really windy and overcast that day. The waves were slamming into the rocks and sending spray everywhere. It was deafening. I got too close to the shore and a wave crashed into the rocks i was standing on and it swept me off my feet and into the lake. I began to panic and scramble to get back on the rocks, but kept losing my grip from all the slimy, algae-covered rocks at the water's edge. It was an immediate drop-off of at least 5 feet. When i went in, i completely submerged and couldn't touch the bottom.
    Luckily, a man that was nearby on the beach saw me fall in and rushed over to pull me out before i drowned. The conditions weren't as bad as this video depicts, but the chop was still severe enough to throw me all over the place and nearly pulled me out into the lake with the surging currents. Terrifying ordeal. That man saved my life!
    When i got back to my campsite freezing and soaking wet and told my parents what happened (never told them how much trouble i was in - only that i slipped and fell), they whipped my ass so hard for going out there alone, I wanted to be back in the water 😂 And they did it for good reason. Now i respect this lake, especially after it took my dad and brother from me 12 years later.
    Be careful out there folks! Lake Superior can overpower even the strongest swimmers with ease.

    Unlike the ocean with waves, Lake Superior behaves like a bathtub with swells and waves that move in totally indiscriminate patterns. Violence.

    Those black spruce trees are hit by waves much taller than the trees and turn to upright icicles. It is observed that black spruce is the only tree that grows in stands right to the the treeline at the tundra that is much farther than Lake Superior. Even though there are forests that are diverse in tree species in the transition and boreal forests beside Lake Superior, black spruce stands are the only species that can tolerate the harsh, icy conditions at the Lake Superior shore.

      Frequency is higher than the ocean but about every 7th wave or so is a really big one.

    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
    The ship was the pride of the American side
    Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
    As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
    With a crew and good captain well seasoned
    Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
    When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
    And later that night when the ship's bell rang
    Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
    The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
    And a wave broke over the railing
    And every man knew, as the captain did too
    T'was the witch of November come stealin'
    The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
    When the gales of November came slashin'
    When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
    In the face of a hurricane west wind
    When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'
    "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya"
    At seven PM, a main hatchway caved in, he said
    "Fellas, it's been good to know ya"
    The captain wired in he had water comin' in
    And the good ship and crew was in peril
    And later that night when his lights went outta sight
    Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
    Does any one know where the love of God goes
    When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
    The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
    If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her
    They might have split up or they might have capsized
    They may have broke deep and took water
    And all that remains is the faces and the names
    Of the wives and the sons and the daughters
    Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
    In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
    Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
    The islands and bays are for sportsmen
    And farther below Lake Ontario
    Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
    And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
    With the gales of November remembered
    In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
    In the maritime sailors' cathedral
    The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
    For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
    The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
    Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
    Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
    When the gales of November come early
