I heard my Dad tell the man who took us out on his boat we had better head in as he didn't like the look of the clouds that were forming. The owner of the boat said a little rain never hurt anybody. That began a 4 hour battle to get back to our campgrounds on Sandusky bay from Lake Erie. The bay was even raging with the boat hitting the bottom after every wave. Lost boat propeller and had to paddle the rest of the way in, I was a child in the early 1970s but I will always remember sitting with a life jacket on and our moms telling us to pray. My dad was an experienced boater and coast guard and he told me the driver of the boat that day didn't respect the lake, that he didn't get storms can pop up in a matter of minutes on Lake Erie. Growing up on the lake as I did I respected it ever since. The waves on that Lake were incredible. Glad that cabin cruiser we were on held up and I never forgot my Dad's calm demeanor and guidance that day. He was the reason we made it back in one piece.

The motor doesn't want to push a boat full of water. It does get scary.

If you are ever wondering how people get caught up in a storm and die on the Great Lakes or an ocean, just watch this video. When the water was calmer, at the beginning, they still had time to move out of the way of the worst of that storm (if their engine was working properly). This was a foolhardy and unnecessary risk to take and it's obvious that was no rogue storm--it was part of a previously forecast system. The captain and crew were either untrained or just stupid. Life jackets that will become waterlogged death weights in less than an hour and average summer water temperatures in the low 70's F (22 C)... it would be a shame, but all of those guys would not make it long enough to be rescued.

Lake Erie is particularly dangerous, not just because of the intense thunderstorms that brew up out of nowhere but because it is so shallow. Shallow bodies of water create square waves when the seas come up as the bottoms, tops of the waves are chopped off by the lake bottom. Square waves are steep. You literally fall off of them. Take a look at shipwreck maps of Erie. It is sobering how many have been lost. p.s. Power boats are like shoe boxes and they are terrible hull forms in any kind of weather.

The Great Lakes change in an instant and you are often too far away to allow a quick return to harbour.. They are in a weird weather area that is both Maritime and Continental at the same time ... the Continental part kicks in those intense thunderstorms out of the blue.

As someone who lived on neighboring Lake Ontario and boated there, the calm water can turn to white caps/bad chop in a matter of minutes. Must have a 40ft+ boat with a radio, as a rule you never go more than a 1/2 mile off shore.

I fished a lot of Lake Erie by Canadian border in around 50 to 60 feet of water but most of south end seems to be 20 feet or less. its the shallow lakes that can blow up real fast and catch you off guard sometimes,,, but these guys were just an accident looking for a place to happen, and too many captains on board.

I grew up on Lake Erie (Huron) and my dad sailed on the ore boats. As someone wrote, this is a nasty storm but have seen larger more deadly storms on the lake. Agree.

Those are 3 to 4 foot waves at the most due to a small thunderstorm. However, inland boats are not use to one of the roughest great lakes. When you see the cigar black shaped cloud across the total horizon, then you can expect a Lake Erie squall line with thunderstorms and waves 6 to 8 feet and wind gusting to 50 plus knots.

Im on lake St Clair in Michigan and we have a 47 foot Excalibur. We were heading to cedar point and got stuck in a storm on Lake Erie, the waves were crashing over the bow, and a couple ended up going through our canvas. Lake Erie is a shallow lake which ends up causing huge waves.

lol it was bad.. the waves were only like 2ft they looked like idk the camera guy wouldnt show then just the windshield lol.. i boat and live on lake erie... always watch weather

It's hard to believe, with the rough water and high winds, that NO ONE is wearing a life jacket. What am I missing here?

Man I grew up on that good old girl ( Erie). Fishing out of Port Colborne Ont 🇨🇦. Erie is such a shallow lake. That is what makes her deadly. I was caught out in a storm one time and the swells had to be at lest 8 to 10 feet. When u were at the bottom of the swell, it looked like the water was going to collapse on you. At the bottom all u can see is water 360 degrees no sky.

I feel for the captain. I've been in these situations before. A lot of "input" from the passengers on what he needs to do. He needs to concentrate and most likely knows what everyone else is saying. It's nerve wracking enough without all the comments and joking and OMGs from the backseats.

Yep that's are Great Lakes storms come in out of nowhere I'm on Lake Huron out of Bayfield Ontario I've been in some pretty wicked shit coming back from the North Channel

I remember being in the same situation on Lake Erie. Anyone who talks shit about how it doesn't look bad had never been on the lake. The waves come strait up under the boat, not rolling like the ocean or larger lakes. Kudos for actually wearing the jackets. So many "almost died" videos on you tube, but most never put on a jacket.

why people don't check the weather before they go

Got caught in a lake storm on the 3rd leg of our boating trip from cedar point to Cleveland,weather report said 1 to 3 ft waves,bright sunny day,we normally would leave at dawn,but,this day we hesitated,left about 10:30am,got out from cedar point heading east towards Cleveland,1 to 3 foot waves,had a 34x Silverton( could handle those waves,no problem),but,as we got further out,waves went to 3 to 6 and if you know Erie, these waves slosh from all directions,I mind you pretty blue skies,no rain,wasn’t no one out there but our regatta of 7 boats,the further out we got the worst it got,it got so bad,the waves would lift my boat out of the water(I could see the seaweed and sand on the bottom) and hear my props whizzing out of the water ,this happened about hundreds of times,waves where going over the top of my boat(anyone who knows silverton’s know that they sit out of the water pretty high),(34x cruiser) ,stood up the whole journey on a trip that’s normal a 3 to 4 hr ride ended up being a9.5 hr thriller,when we got to Cleveland,I kissed the ground....They don’t call it Lake Eeriee for nothing

Just this year we was out in 5-6foot waves walleye drifting . It was crazy. We was catching fish nonstop and as soon as the wind picked up nothing and half the boat was seasick.

cant watch it, its like watching Forrest Gump "run'

I grew up on Lake Erie. Our house was flooded by Lake Erie’s twice. Great Lake ships would sometimes ground themselves in front of the house in the fog. The Edmund Fitzgerald used to steam by our yard. But these guys can’t figure out how to wind in their reels before they motor under a shelf cloud?

i dont understand how people in this day and age can get caught with their pants down by weather like this when its so incredibly easy to keep tabs on the weather minute to minute. there's no excuse. I constantly keep tabs on the radar even when im home safe, but to think you could go out in a tiny little boat and not even have your gear pulled in by the time a massive storm hits you.. its insane.

I almost pissed myself laughing. Thank you guys for this video.

i've been in a storm like this up there in an 18ft Thompson out near West Sister, we ran as soon as the wind switched direction and still couldn't make it away fast enough. Luckily, with gps, we made it into Turtle Creek to wait it out, but it went from flat to 6 foot waves in minutes. Now, we watch the radar and wave/wind forecast constantly so it never happens again.

Pho Nics Popup storms are extremely common around the lakes - All it takes is a temperature over 80f with mild humidity and you've got all the ingredients needed for a stormy evening. Both sticky days and days over 80f are pretty common on the southern side of the great lakes (during summer obviously). A sunny blue sky day can have a rouge storm form in 10-15 minutes.

What thing is simple enough?

i sat at the beach every night i grew up at crystal beach on lake eerie and i sat there to listen to the water at night. Everyday by myself. But sometimes it is scary af. I think there is a spirit in the water.

I think it was bad planning to have been caught by this weather since you can see it days away. I do want to commend the captain for getting out the life preservers. Men are not always so willing to put them on. I witnessed a boat being flipped over near the moth of the Columbia river when I was 10. I never had a problem wearing a life preserver from that day on. 4 men went in 1 came out. We were 75 yards away and another boat was there in less then 1 min.

I was out there in a 22' and it swelled from 4' to 8-10' in the blink of an eye. Took an hour to go from elk to walnut, white knuckles the whole way.

Gets terrifying out on Eerie. Was out in a 28ft Cabin Cruiser w twins and it felt like I was out in a dinghy. Waves that day were 9 ft rollers.

Was caught in a storm when I was a kid on a bass boat with my dad and few friends. We were by middle bass when the storm blew in didn't even see it coming and shot across back to south bass behind some guys sea wall. It was crazy the little bass boat just slamming over the waves trying to hold the rods down and not fly overboard.

Bass boats. Worst

The Captain is Doing Exactly what he should do not panic keep Steady, by the time you get to shore it’s passed over, Fishing probably really good there after a Storm down there. I haven’t seen Erie In a number of Years the Water has Cleared up a Lot. Very Nice.

Those are some Breakers there, that ship,looks fairly small but the Captain did well, not freaking out and keeping steady power up so the Bow is always up but not so fast to bounce too much. Great Job Capt.

This looks like every trip I’ve taken on my friends boat! “ Hey, I heard there’s a nor’easter hitting heavy today! “ “ Nah, that’s going to miss us..the fish are everywhere today we can’t miss! “ “ Ok, great! “ ………..🙄😂

Keystone cops at sea😖

I see lake Erie every day the storms are spectacular

You won't catch me on the Great Lakes without twin screws. About 10 yrs ago we had 3 boats convoying to Cedar Point from St Clair, evening came along with an expected storm but it was worse than anticipated. I was on a 34' Sundancer & we must've hit a deadhead or something cuz it popped one of the outdrives into the emergency position, so we had to coast in on one 1 motor. Not sure what would've happened if we only had the 1, the storm was pretty bad. When I was a kid and went to St. Clair every weekend to our boat, I remember my dad telling my mother that he'd never buy a boat without twins...He's a smart man. Not sure if he got that idea from the Navy or wherever, but I always remembered it and followed his rule.

Switch over to your GPS map to figure your best course. The wind is blowing you off a compass heading and it will record your past track, then you can figure course with average compass heading corrected for wind and wave.

Great Aunts had a cottage right on Lake Erie. I was a kid but remember the fire flys and how you could walk a quarter mile out and the water would be only up to your waist.

I been on Lake Ontario off of Cape Vincent in 1978 when a sudden storm whipped up 15-20' waves. Hold on tight.

Great video, I have a similar video but mines in a severe storm on an 18’ pontoon. Glad you all made is back safely!!!!

This is just a rain storm. These guys should be out there past Waverly Beach, beside Fort Erie, Canada, where Lake Erie speeds up and turns into the Niagara River. It takes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to retrieve boats and barges around there, sometimes. Two years ago a wall of ice over thirty feet was pushed ashore, pushing houses and cottages and cutting off a road. I highly recommend Waverly Beach for anything.

These people who talk about small craft have never been on Lake Erie during a storm. I was many years ago with my father and I can tell you, scariest experience of my life. We almost didn't make it back, and we had a 20'. Marine radio's were expensive in the 80s, but he bought one soon after that experience. People can talk all they want...but I am telling you, Lake Erie is a scary lake in chop. There's no way I would even take anything under MAYBE a 16' out there unless it was pure glass.

+Matthew Pilarski * "radios" and " '80s." Misuse of apostrophes is common, but it's not hard to learn the correct usage. The first rule of thumb is: never use apostrophes to make words plural. So "radios" is the plural of "radio" and "radio's" is a singular possessive for something belonging to one radio. The second rule is: use apostrophes in contractions to stand in for other characters. So " '80s" is a contraction of "1980s."

Chesapeake bay is scary as shit so I can only imagine how terrifying it gets on those big ass lakes.

Great lakes are nothing to mess with. Those from around the country who have never seen them have no idea that it's just like being on the ocean. When that chop starts slamming the boat around and you can't see land it gets a little scary. Notice the driver was quiet the whole time, it's hard to navigate and clench ass cheeks at the same time.

As someone that’s been in this situation I can attest to that. And this comment made me laugh

I kept expecting foster Brooks to come out of the cabin as a drunk captian

The caption of this video is incorrect. They didn’t get caught in the storm. They disregarded or never checked the weather forecast and if you notice there are no other small pleasure craft out on Lake Erie.

I knew a guy that got caught in a storm on superior, when he came back from trying to head for isle Royal two boats behind him sunk, my friend of course had a cover for the back of his boat that he made that buttoned over the back. The minute that storm was sighted these people should have been heading in. All the great lakes are dangerous. Some are only apparently in the low 40s ( water temperature) from what I have heard. There are many ships in all of them .

They could have pulled the planers in a little sooner, but this wasn’t a big deal. When you see a curved wall cloud like that, you can be sure that there will be a gust front associated with the storm, so they could have known that pulling in the planers with a strong wind might be a little tricky. Everything else was pretty much a non-event.

Who else thought Chris Farley was gonna crawl out of the cuddy and spill the porta-potty all over the cockpit? Anyone?

I live in southern Virginia and i've been told by people who had boated the Great Lakes to never take a Great Lakes Storm lightly. I am glad they are safe but I am wondering why they waited until it was on them before starting to pack it up. Of course not being a fisherman i may not understand their need to fish until the last minute. Good video and excellent lesson on knowing your boat and where the emergency equipment is located and where you are. Again glad you made it home okay.

Because stoms often change directions when they reach water....you gotta watch them to figure a lot out about the speed and direction and what the best plan is. Action without planning is frequently worse than inaction. Failing to plan is planning to fail.
