The polar vortex of late January was miserable, but ice tsunamis may be one upping the weather phenomenon.
Since Sunday February 24, a windstorm has been hitting the region of the Great Lakes in both Canada and the US, causing flight delays, school cancellations, and power outages, but those living near Lake Eerie may have got the absolute worst of it. Gusts were so strong around the lake’s shores that blocks of ice surged above the retaining walls, forming ice shoves as high as 30 feet. Footage of the “ice tsunami” was released by the Niagara Parks Police, and it’s every bit as dramatic as it sounds.
