Looked like the goddamn whitewash of the Millenium Wave. Last May, a father-and-son tandem were minding their own business, snagging fish lips on Lake Michigan with this towering sign of the apocalypse reared its monstrous face up above them. Son Andrew Ballard told The Detroit News: “We saw these low-lying clouds about 20 miles off in the distance. They crept up on our boat and then we could see that it was a cloud that was really close to the water. We thought about pulling in our lines and heading to shore but we were curious, so we decided to see what it would be like inside.”
What happened inside?
“The wind was about 20 mph, the waves got bigger and the temperature really dropped,” Andrew continued. “Visibility dropped to about 30 feet, and you lost direction.”
The end is nigh!
That being said… while this may appear ominous beyond belief, meteorologist Deb Elliot of the National Weather Service explained that this was not the advent of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse and instead something called advection fog. Go figure.
