Wind-driven Lake Erie Will Wipe Out Buffalo, NY {Picture]

 

 

A natural disaster of epic proportions has been in-progress for about three hours so A natural disaster of epic proportions has been in-progress for about three hours so far at Lake Erie and there’s no sign of it stopping anytime soon    A rare wind-driven  “Seiche” is taking place, wherein the wind is so fierce and sustained, it is blowing the entire body of lake water from west-to-east causing the natural sea level at the west end of Lake Erie to DROP 6 feet and the natural sea level at the east end to rise more than 7 feet! ! !  

Massive flooding is now taking place at the east end of Lake Erie, with inundating amounts of water flowing out of the lake onto nearby shore roads, causing those roads to become impassable.  The seiche is already more than 7 feet tall and it continues to rise, spelling Doom for many local residents, and perhaps entire ctions of the city of Buffalo, New York.  

 

  As defined by wikipedia:  

A seiche (/ˈseɪʃ/ saysh) is a standing wave in an enclosed or partially enclosed body of water. Seiches and seiche-related phenomena have been observed on lakes,reservoirs, swimming pools, bays, harbours and seas. The key requirement for formation of a seiche is that the body of water be at least partially bounded, allowing the formation of the standing wave.

The term was promoted by the Swiss hydrologist François-Alphonse Forel in 1890, who was the first to make scientific observations of the effect in Lake Geneva,Switzerland.^[1] The word originates in a Swiss French dialect word that means “to sway back and forth”, which had apparently long been used in the region to describe oscillations in alpine lakes.   source
