National Public Radio had a segment on it yesterday on All Things Considered. They described the phenomenon and also mentioned the rogue waves that the water sloshing can trigger. The guest speaker mentioned six fishers killed while on a pier on Lake Michigan when hit by just such a wave. There was no mention of wave height. Kind of like our own little tsunamis here in the Midwest! -Patrick PS From my window I can see that the Mississippi here in St. Paul is starting to ice up. :-( *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Dec 16 1999 - 11:52:05 PST
