The White Hurricane Of 1913

This was the deadliest storm to ever manifest itself in the Great Lakes region. It sunk dozens of ships and made over hundred families have to make funeral arrangements. It had many names such as Big Blow and Freshwater Fury but the White Hurricane stuck.

“It wasn’t just the wind and waves that raised havoc with this storm,” said Tom Niziol, winter weather expert for The Weather Channel. “The air was cold enough to create a full-blown blizzard, reducing visibility so that ships could not even see the shore, and significant icing from the freezing spray weighed ships down to a point that they could not even navigate.”
