My fiance' and I saw it right after it first came out. AWESOME MOVIE! Those rescue swimmers are super-tough dudes! 8)

I was thinking of the Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald too since the 3rd post

Gordon Lightfoot sings some good songs, eh?

Haven't seen the big storm yet this year. Oct. 28th we had 40mph winds out of the NW and gave us 15 ft. waves. But that is nothing.
Last year we had 60+ mph storm Nov. 3rd-ish there abouts. Waves were over 20 ft.

Yoop, have there ever been storms on Superior since The Big Fitz went down that have been any stronger? 8)

Always big storms in November but when the Fitz went down it turned out to be a perfect storm with a Low pressure from the South colliding with a High pressure from the North.

November is when we usually start to get our Weather from Dead North and that's why it's wicked.
