Big splash in Chicago

High winds, fear of 24-foot waves on Lake Michigan closes LSD path - Chicago Sun-Times

An “energetic autumn storm” full of rain, heavy wind gusts and waves expected to reach 24 feet Wednesday night has prompted the city to close the Lake Shore Drive bike path.

Pedestrians near the path are advised to exercise extreme caution, if not totally avoid running, cycling or walking near the edge of Lake Michigan, as expected winds and waves can cause wipeout conditions
