mason05 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) Pretty crazy. Not sure what this rainfall event will ring in at but Dover looks like it's getting a 50-100 year storm by the shots on that video. Edited December 2, 2006 by Corn Nug

Greencoachdog Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 Great video, put your hair in a ponytail and wear a hat. I hope everybody is safe and sound!
bigfish1965 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 An extreme example of the Lake Erie seiche. Happens quite a bit on that lake. http://www.geo.msu.edu/geo333/seiches.htm
lunkerbasshunter Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 wow scary stuff, hope not to mch is detroyed!
Spiel Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 ....That's insane. I don't think it wise to be venturing back down there till these wind subside, be safe.
Whopper Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) Well if it's like that on your side the south shore harbors of the western basin probably don't have much water in them. Cool video do the "hustle" Whopper Edited December 2, 2006 by Whopper
lunkerbasshunter Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 would the water not backlash back to the western side after its done? maybe causing flooding there?
nautifish Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) Good morning everyone. Well what a night last night WOW! Not long after i had posted the video we lost power on our street. As i said a huge tree had fallen a few doors down and taken down some power lines down right out front of my house. My drive way was all blocked off with trucks and more trucks lol.........So was with out power till late ,late hrs of this morning. Last night was just totally wild......lol...... Rick i am sure it does......But its been a long time since dover has seen anything like last night. We have had the lake swell waves coming up over the pier. But last night the water was up past the peir downtown flooded and for a while it looked like some of them big boats were gonna be sailing down george street.....lol...... That really did scare me actually see them boats sitting up as high as the road. When myself and my son got back down their we had all on trying to stand in one place with out getting blown away.....lol..... I do have more video footage coming. I did get back down there and i got myself better attired.....lol.... Gotta love mother nature she is pretty bloody amazing. Tracker.....I have been asked that before and no i have not. I just want my own tv fishing show. lol LOL whooper at the hustle.....Gotta love the 70's & 80's My 17 yr old was not to impressed i was playing that while he was in the van with me......lol.... Green i went down there with sandles on my feet .....I was talking to my other boy on the internet who lives over by the marina and he was telling me that downtown was flooded.....Well as soon as he told me that i grabbed my cam my youngest wanted to come with me and we left. A hat was the last thing on my mind......lol Edited December 2, 2006 by nautifish
Rich Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 Havent seen anything like that downtown since about 7 years ago
nautifish Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Posted December 2, 2006 Havent seen anything like that downtown since about 7 years ago Funny a local i saw at timmies said he has not seen anything like that down their for about 15 yrs not that extreme he said... Which i think would of made you what five yrs old rich? Did anyone recognise the Arbour on the last clip?
Rich Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) Well I guess the local wasnt around the first year I moved here when water was at least 3 feet deep downtown, almost to the top of the stairs at the Callahans entrance and about 2 feet deep at the Arbor, they put road block signs up by the road at the pier there and they were washed away in minutes.. it was actually worse! But also the water was a lot higher at that time normally Edited December 2, 2006 by Rich
Garyv Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 More power than all the bikes on Friday the 13th!!!!
nautifish Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Posted December 2, 2006 lol No he has only lived in dover all his life......lol So who knows...... All i know is it was freaking crazy....... I am imagining that downtown is quiet a mess this morning....Their was debris and all kinds of crap down their last night..... A couple told me they saw a whole tree floating in the channel down by the lift bridge last night. I never thought to go over to the marina side to see what it was doing over their.....I wish i had....
dsn Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 Wow amazing. But I would be careful. Since you don't know where the edge of a drop into the lake or bay maybe while your out there so becareful. Hate to see some lose their footage and end up in the bay and the waves sweeps you out to the lake. dsn And so shall it be days of Noah.
nautifish Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Posted December 2, 2006 More power than all the bikes on Friday the 13th!!!! LOL YOU aint kiddin....lol

Yes it was amazing DSN......But we made sure to stay away from any drop offs...I know dover well......My son wanted to take a walk up to the light house on the pier....lol...Now that would have been stupid and crazy.....considering it was covered in water.
JEREMY Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 SOME BOATER IS GOING TO MESS HIS PANTS WHEN HE SEES A PALM TREE COME FLOATING BY 3 MILES OUT.
xrap Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 Wow that's freakin nuts. You look like a CNN reported just before a hurricane is going to hit lol. Thanks for putting up the vid
ccmtcanada Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 All those other comments about being a reporter....they are right!!! You were just as good as any "live on location" reporter I've ever seen!!! Unbelieveable footage....great job!!!
Cookslav Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 Crazy... I once saw huron come up to swallow the entire beach, and stop just shy of laKe shore Blvd. In Sauble. About 11 years ago...2 days of high winds had the lake whipped into a frenzie but 2 days later it was completely calm. Crazy to see that much power on display
Carp Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 I guess ark builders are in demand right now in Port Dover. Whose collecting the animals? The awesome power of nature.
nautifish Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Posted December 4, 2006 LOL Carp No demand for ark builder's thank goodness. I imagine the emergency crews were crazy busy though. I had a cop car sat in my drive way plus two hydro trucks and a few other trucks which were the guys waiting to start removing the tree. And they were their till around 5-6am the next morning.... XWRAP CCMT Thankyou, Glad you enjoyed the video but i hardely find my self worthy of a CNN Reporter. Cookslave i have seen a few storms over the last four yrs here in dover but nothing compared to friday night.......The wind was so strong could hardly stand and when trying to talk, the wind would just take ur breath away. I am downloading the second lot of video footage i took friday night....So hope to get it posted before i retire for the night.
