It was a beautiful day mid-week last week when the aurora was out.
Today wasn’t the best day to take pictures. With wind and rain, it wasn’t very pleasant. Going down to the beach the wind sounds like a train roaring through. All in all it could have been worse, not as bad as the weather people predicted.
The gale warning flags are flying in anticipation of strong coastal winds for Leelanau County and South along the lakeshore. Yesterday the forecast was for gusts up o 60 mph, today, maybe 40 or so.
