High Winds High Waves

GRAND HAVEN MI– A high wind advisory was issued Wednesday March 8, 2017 for a majority of the state of Michigan, including the shores of Lake Michigan. With the winds gusting out of the west, at times over 60 mph, the great lake was churning with lots of angry energy. Some waves swelled over fifteen feet tall as they crashed the pier of the light house in Grand Haven, Michigan. Blues skies and huge waves accompanying each other are a rare occurrence, making it a great day to head over to Grand Haven State Park and grab photos of this amazing event.
