While daily email malfunction problems unfolded. I learned something new and not about technical computing. I had came across an article a seiche that occurred on Lake Erie. It is an interesting phenomenon where the wind action is great enough to force high waves and expose the lake bottom.

This occurred on Honey Lake as well. It was documented in the the Lassen Weekly Mail of April 9, 1915,  “ A party from Honey Island consisting of Henry Baughman, W.F Snare, and Alex Norwood were in Susanville yesterday. They made the passage from the Island to the mainland in a rowboat and report a very stormy passage. The waves were so high that the bottom of the lake was often exposed and the boat left stranded on the bottom. The party had to wait each time until the wave came back and floated the boat.”
