NOTE: The break-wall is about 10ft high - for scale.

Today's storm that hit Chicago also wreaked havoc on the north shore of Lake Superior. The city of Thunder Bay was right in it's path. 100km/hr winds created 6 meter waves (18 ft) that battered the shoreline.

The footage is a little shaky because of the high winds and long lens. Digital zooming is also used to get a better look.

Enjoy the power!
