And i’m talking about winds that weren’t as bad as that last night. i’ve ridden in some sloppy shit before. Hurricane conditions can get the waves looking pretty nasty lol.

I drove down rt 5 in hamburg at about 6pm and midnight last night. Some big waves blowing over by hoaks at 6 then not much going on at 12 except for a noticeably higher water level. Hard to see much or take any decent pics because its dark over the lake. Not really that impressive anyway, I’ve seen worse. ---

almost 1 year later and here we go again…STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 60 MPH WILL PRODUCE A SURGE OF WATER AT THE EAST END OF LAKE ERIE. THE WATER LEVEL ON EASTERN LAKE ERIE IS RISING RAPIDLY THIS MORNING. AT 9 AM… THE WATER LEVEL AT THE BUFFALO COAST GUARD STATION WAS ABOUT 3 FEET ABOVE LOW WATER DATUM AND RISING RAPIDLY. THE WATER LEVEL IS EXPECTED TO RISE TO BETWEEN 8 AND 9 FEET ABOVE LOW WATER DATUM BY MIDDAY. FLOOD STAGE IS 8 FEET. A LAKESHORE FLOOD WARNING MEANS LAKESHORE FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS. PEOPLE ALONG THE NORTHEAST END OF LAKE ERIE SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY. LISTEN TO LOCAL RADIO… TELEVISION p.s.- the city of buffalo has 50mph winds now with a gust of 81mph! ---

I was at como park this morning when it was actually sunny and slightly breezy then all of a sudden it got dark and then you could just hear the storm coming and then in a matter of seconds it was 50+mph winds and downpouring and when walking to my car a huge ass tree fell 20ft in front of me blocking the main entrance so I had to leave thru the back entrance which another tree fell down on the road but I could actually get around it. ---

There’s a creek behind my house that now looks like a river. And is rushing so fast. The park down the street, that is right next to the creek, is completely submerged in water. Basketball courts and all. It’s fucking nuts. I’ll try and snap some pics. ---

My house is currently tilting back and fourth with the wind. Not really enjoying the 120 year old farm house right now. ---
