A product of an inferior education, obviously. The Europeans claim we in
the US know very little about them, however, look at how little they know
about us.


That's not fair, Katy. I searched Google for stories about bad weather on
Lake Michigan. This is about the worst that I found :-

"Waves reached 14 to 18 feet overnight and still were 12 to 16 feet high
this morning, the National Weather Service reported. "

That was in winds that exceeded 50mph!

Why don't you post some links to some sea-riously bad conditions on "Lake"
Michigan?
