Last Weeks Wind Storm

Although the wind has settled down the water it still high. Note a portion of the pier has washed away and the fence is gone. It must have been quite a storm.

Last Tuesday Susanne and I were up in Goderich visiting with our friends Brad and Jill. On the way up we stopped by to check on the boat cover as there was quite a blow a couple of days earlier. All was OK. We also took a ride down to the lakefront basin. I noted as we drove over to the pier the water was way up in the basin....about a foot below the all time high mark. We got a surprise when we got out at the pier. A lot of the gravel walkway was gone which leads to the pier. The fence that keep people off it had also been washed away. The beach is all underwater with a good portion of the berm and dunes gone. It will be interesting to see what the spring brings. I talked to the crew still working raising docks once again this fall. On our way home we stopped in at Grand Bend and noted the north pier light had been changed out....George

As one can see the beach is well underwater with a lot of the bank gone.
