Beautiful video but the music was unnecessary. I'd rather just hear the water.

FYI drones do not have sound. All you would hear is buzzing and wind 👌

This is cool. I was born in Hancock, MI...and grew up swimming in Lake Superior...south shore near the Keweenaw Peninsula. There was a small river flowing into the lake...at this place called Great Sand Bay. I would always dam it up whenever we picnicked there.

I thought swimming in Lake Superior was forbidden, even in deep heat of summer, the granite base keeps the water so cold that people get hypothermia!!!

Lake Superior has risen a little bit. That's the only immediate downstream lake.

@danlowe8684 29 күн бұрын

Lake Superior has a massive watershed area and is 1000' deep at its deepest point. Its water flows east, eventually ending up at Niagara Falls. What's amazing is that Superior's level has never strayed more than 1.5' above or 1.5' below its average level since measurements started being documented in the 1800s.

@@tonecoughlinphotography Apparently that was thought impossible, and then it happened for the first time in 2017 I believe. I was unaware that it hadn't happened before that. It must be another climate change adaptation. We aren't the only ones adapting to a changing climate. The planet is doing so as well.

@tonecoughlinphotography Ай бұрын

@@jimthain8777 I did some research I guess it's a temporary thing when lake levels are lower and warmer. If the water is high like it is now the lake stays cool.

@DougMelaas Ай бұрын

While there is certainly quite a bit of silt/debris being carried along in the higher-than-normal waters, remember that most of these rivers are already kind of dark tea-colored due to tannins that they pick up as they flow through marshes and other wetlands, so it isn't as dramatic as the video makes it appear. This is normal for a lot northern MN rivers and lakes.

Honestly, the flooding flow is impressive, but what does a “normal flow” look like? I don’t live there, so it is unclear how much difference is being observed.

Well, since it is YOUR video - perhaps you should have edited in some of your previous videos to show us the difference between what is normal for most of the year around as compared to what excess amount you're trying to show us in this video.

This is simply normal spring runoff, or a large rainfall. North of Superior doesn't have 'Flash Floods'

We already had spring runoff in April. 7-9" of rain in less than an hour wiped out culverts and dirt roads. Highway 61 was flooded. It was all over the news you can check it out for yourself.

@karlsjunior466 Ай бұрын

I can explain. What we see here is high water. High water is after a good rain and the water comes up and moves fast and dangerous. But as everyone can see, the water is contained within the normal banks of the river. A FLOOD happens when the water rises enough to pour out of the river banks onto roads, yards, parks, businesses and things like that where it causes damage leaves debris and possibly some destruction if powerful enough. Now you can see the difference. This vid is of high water, not flooding. Good footage. To bad the title was clickbait
