Lake Superior Storm 001

Last week we experienced another great storm along the North Shore. Northeast winds up to 50 mph created waves that were very impressive. I took this series of photos from the beach just west of the Grand Marais municipal campground. The waves rolled right up on the rock cliff creating sounds that were pretty amazing. This photo was taken at a slower shutter speed causing the waves motion to blur. The Sawtooth Mountain range is in the background.

When I returned to the parking lot I noticed that the outer break wall was funneling huge waves into the Grand Marais Harbor. This is the first time I have experienced the waves hitting the inner break wall with such force.

If it wasn’t for the huge rocks along the break wall I think some of the buildings at the North House Folk School Campus would have been damaged.
