This is one of Georgian Bay's notorious autumn squalls.  They don't last long - from ten minutes to half an hour, but in that time, they can sink ships, tear down trees and change lives forever.  A storm like this was responsible for the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

The day I went out on the water in this storm, the waves were fourteen feet from top to trough, and we were in a twelve-foot boat.  It was terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.
