Ports Update: Lexington Michigan and Gordon Lightfoot

In November 1913, the harbour of Lexington MI was destroyed by the "Great Blow", the most severe storm to ever pummel the Great Lakes.

This weather system occurs every year on the Great Lakes. It was made famous by Gordon Lightfoot's reference to the "witch of november" in his great song Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald. It is the convergence, over warm lake water, of cold arctic air from the north and warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico.
