The National Weather Service advises: “People should avoid being outside in forested areas and around trees and branches. If possible, remain in the lower levels of your home during the windstorm, and avoid windows.” Or, head to the beach and watch the waves. That’s what most of Grand Haven seems to be doing. Including us.
Oh, and make sure you bring your umbrella. With winds gusting to 60mph. Hang on tight and maybe you can Mary Poppins yourself into the air. This older couple above decided to take their trusty umbrella and push on down to the boardwalk where we almost had our legs taken out by a wave… during a much less windy summer day. I hope they respect the lake.
Most people coming to the beach are just doing the window tour. Staying in their cars and gazing out. Again, including us. Later, waves are to build to 15 feet! While we are back home watching football and eating our takeout from TED’s. Tasty, tasty TED’s. Our absolute favorite restaurant still open in November during this resurgent pandemic.
