You’ve never seen the Great Lakes like this.

After summer ends and vacationers leave the Great Lakes, the water can get a little wild—and these photographs of Lake Erie in action by photographer Dave Sandford put the unbelievable power of the Great Lakes on full display.
What causes waves on the Great Lakes?
The Great Lakes don’t have strong tides like the ocean (NOAA estimates that the largest true tide on the Great Lakes is less than five centimeters in height), so any waves on their surfaces are caused by strong winds and rapid changes in atmospheric pressure.
Waves on the lakes can be more than 25 feet tall, and extremely dangerous standing waves called seiches can sometimes occur, when all the water in the lake sloshes from shore to shore, causing seawalls and area floods. According to NOAA, Lake Erie is particularly known for its powerful seiches (in addition to its choppy waves).
