Massive waves pound the shoreline at Spencer Smith Park in Burlington during freezing rain storm
Massive waves inbound off Lake Ontario crash into Burlington shoreline at Spencer Smith park during an early Spring storm. This storm occurred April 18, 2018 and high wind gusts of approximately 75 km/h were recorded. It was a challenge to record the waves without becoming completely drenched in the process. The wind gusts served to remind you of the danger of coming too close to the incoming waves as they crashed into the pier and onto the shore. The beautiful walk way next to the lake was completely encased in a thick layer of ice and even a ways past the walk way was a dangerous layer of slippery ice. The suction of the waves was evident as the water was swept out onto the lake.
I came as close as I dared and felt the sheer intensity of the storm. It is totally awesome and scary all at the same time. It is at times such as these that you feel insignificant and small in comparison to the raw power of nature as it plays out in front of you.
This storm definitely caused some damage on the pier, despite the major concrete reinforcements. It lasted for approximately 24 hours before subsiding.
