Chicago - A message from the station manager

Song of the Moment: The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald

By The Main Hatchway Affairs Desk

A storm stronger than the one that sank the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975 is expected to slash across the Midwest tomorrow, snarling Chicago travel and whipping waves as high as 30 feet across Lake Michigan. – Bloomberg
This year, the gales of November have come calling a week early. Rumors are flying that the storm we have right now rivals the region’s most famous storms of old. “The rumors are not rumors because they’re true,” said Dan Miller with the National Weather Service. “This storm is actually probably a little stronger than the Edmund Fitzgerald storm.” – Northland News Center
[T]he storm’s pressure was worse than that produced the Blizzard of 1978, the March 1993 “Storm of the Century” or the November 1975 storm that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald freighter, memorialized in a song by Gordon Lightfoot. – AP
