Thursday Afternoon Diversion: The Windy City

By Kevin Robinson in Arts & Entertainment on Oct 20, 2011 8:00PM

Last night's wind and rain did more than scare your dog and make your walk home from work unpleasant: they stirred up the lake, with gusts of up to 60 miles per hour forcing the lakefront path closed and high waves, some up to 25 feet tall, crashing into the shoreline. Last night's wind storms also afforded Craig Shimala the opportunity to film some of nature's beauty, and set the resulting video to Sigur Ros.
