Mike,

 DS>     In 1975 Another "freshwater fury" hit the Great Lakes.  A large
 DS>             ore carrier on Lake Superior, the Edmund Fitzgerald, sank
 DS>             near Crisp Point with the loss of its crew of 29 men.
 DS>             Eastern Upper Michigan and coastal Lower Michigan were
 DS>             hardest hit by the storm, which produced wind gusts to 71
 DS>             at Sault Ste Marie MI, and gusts to 78 mph at Grand
 DS>             Rapids MI.  Severe land and road erosion occurred along
 DS>             the Lake Michigan shoreline.  A popular hit song by
 DS>             Gordon Lightfoot was inspired by the storm.

 MP> I was waiting to see if you had this one in the database or
 MP> not.  As I follow several Great Lakes lighthouse and other
 MP> groups related to the lakes, it has been the topic of
 MP> conversation lately.

  I have a lot of the data prior to 1990. Any weather history after
1990 is "partial".
