So, imagine how cool it would be to be out on a lake like this.  Surrounded by cool cliffs, a cool breeze, friends and cold beer on a boat...pretty great, right?  Now imagine what it would be like if you looked out on your right and all of the sudden, those cliffs started to fall into the water.  As much as this looks like some sort of disaster movie on video, I can't imagine how crazy it must have been in person.

Luckily, the "bark was much worse than the bite."  No one was injured, and the boat had no trouble outrunning the wave created by the Lake Superior Cliff Collapse.  Pretty cool tho, right?
