Coastal Flooding & Damage Likely

Can use map

wave heights.

Waves of 16-20 feet will crash on

the shores of Lake Superior, which

could produce flooding and

damage along the lake shore

Stay off break walls and other

shoreline structures or you could

be swept away or hit by lofted

chunks of ice!

How to create lake wind graphic:

Historical Perspective: Damage could

be similar to the October 2018 Storm
