Thanks 👍. Yes they are!

Nope. Grand Portage State Park not sure which one you are talking about.

They have definitely gone up from all the rain we've had so far this year!

Lake Superior is the place to be!

@@tonecoughlinphotography Last time I vistted there was August of 2019. I even swam at mouth of the Gratiot. I hope to visit this year again...swim again!

I thought swimming in Lake Superior was forbidden, even in deep heat of summer, the granite base keeps the water so cold that people get hypothermia!!!

Me too grew up in houghton

@@johnbeck8812 I lived in Lake Linden, Copper City, and Mohawk.

I didn't want to battle the crowds there were no parking spots with all of the tourists.

Thanks I really appreciate it. It was a fun day 👌

Lake Superior has risen a little bit. That's the only immediate downstream lake.

Lake Superior has a massive watershed area and is 1000' deep at its deepest point. Its water flows east, eventually ending up at Niagara Falls. What's amazing is that Superior's level has never strayed more than 1.5' above or 1.5' below its average level since measurements started being documented in the 1800s.

It was wonderful 😍

You're welcome! It took the entire day I wish there was more time I could have grabbed more footage.

Never been there.

What are you talking about?

@@tonecoughlinphotography The failure of government to handle maintenance of any floating debris is demonstrated by your pictures where a WIRE Cable catches the logs and debris prior to hitting the dams.. Nice pictures.

@@patmcdonald766 the government isn't responsible for maintaining our hydroelectric dams that's done by the owners Minnesota Power.

@@tonecoughlinphotography That dam is responsibility of the County and democrats WALZ has known this was a problem and for 10 years now. DEMOCRATS CONTROL every thing. time to put a windmill up there.

The sea is always full 👌

the worlds oceans levels are rising due to unprecedented melting of the polar icecaps!!

Pete Townshend has a wonderful song titled, 'The Sea Refuses No River'.

We already had spring runoff in April. 7-9" of rain in less than an hour wiped out culverts and dirt roads. Highway 61 was flooded. It was all over the news you can check it out for yourself.

Keep your politics on your own channel, thanks 👌

Thanks for watching!

The recent flash flooding we've had has made ppl disbelieve the run off. Rivers and Lakes are higher than in the spring with snow melt. They're watching online vs seeing it in person.

There's no ice skating here, or kayaking. Anyone would definitely die.

Check out my website I have lots of photos of "normal flow."

Spring melt is impressive as well. We go to lutsen for our wedding anniversary

Could you please provide us an example video on your channel? We're dying to learn 😂

I can explain. What we see here is high water. High water is after a good rain and the water comes up and moves fast and dangerous. But as everyone can see, the water is contained within the normal banks of the river. A FLOOD happens when the water rises enough to pour out of the river banks onto roads, yards, parks, businesses and things like that where it causes damage leaves debris and possibly some destruction if powerful enough. Now you can see the difference. This vid is of high water, not flooding. Good footage. To bad the title was clickbait

​@@karlsjunior466there's a good kind of nerding out and a bad kind. You're doing the bad kind right now. Stop it. Be better.

@@qcexplorer6628 you telling me not to speak my mind is worse. Stop it.

Algae in Lake Superior?

@@tonecoughlinphotography Apparently that was thought impossible, and then it happened for the first time in 2017 I believe. I was unaware that it hadn't happened before that. It must be another climate change adaptation. We aren't the only ones adapting to a changing climate. The planet is doing so as well.

@@jimthain8777 I did some research I guess it's a temporary thing when lake levels are lower and warmer. If the water is high like it is now the lake stays cool.

While there is certainly quite a bit of silt/debris being carried along in the higher-than-normal waters, remember that most of these rivers are already kind of dark tea-colored due to tannins that they pick up as they flow through marshes and other wetlands, so it isn't as dramatic as the video makes it appear. This is normal for a lot northern MN rivers and lakes.

Pretty intense!

We all live on the same Earth 🌎

Can't please everyone 😂

@tonecoughlinphotography of course not. I just mentioned it because it doesn't fit and seems rather out of place

​@@tonecoughlinphotography😅I like it!

@@LoriLeaPouttu thank you very much!

Not on the north shore. Scanlon is flooding from the St. Louis River Jay Cooke is pretty cool right now.

There's only a few kayakers I know of that would attempt water like this.

FYI drones do not have sound. All you would hear is buzzing and wind 👌

@@tonecoughlinphotography Good point! I didn't even think of that. Great footage! Thanks!

Maybe music a little less dramatic.

The music is fine, I can feel how dramatic it all is.

I love the music!

That's a bit dramatic.

Thank you - click bait titles are stupid.

It was a flash flood we got 7-9" inches of rain in less than an hour. You're probably talking spring melt.

@@brucezimmerman9451 lol, not click bait. All you have to do is google search flash flooding northern Minnesota on June 18, 2024.

@@tonecoughlinphotography Got it. Thanks.

Well, since it is YOUR video - perhaps you should have edited in some of your previous videos to show us the difference between what is normal for most of the year around as compared to what excess amount you're trying to show us in this video.

Thanks a lot!

It was fun to see.

Thank you!

It was amazing 😍

lol that's a good question!

You're welcome 🤗

No problem, thanks for enjoying it!

Poplar*

You are correct! Check out the new video I just uploaded with aerial footage.

It was pretty intense.

That's cool make it happen again!

You are very lucky 😊

For sure, it's a beautiful treat and a big part of our lives 👌

😢

Thanks for sharing 🙏

Oh fer sure you betcha 👌

Early Morning Rain is one of my favs.
