Crazy. If you turn up the sound when it's moving across the grass it does sound like a train like she says. I would be worried about how much is going to pile up. I'm sure there is enough ice to clear off the lake yet. Around 3:00 you can hear it chugging... weird.

Talk about a helpless feeling!
It was mildly (sadly) amusing hearing the ladies in the video repeat over and over to call "someone" for help. What good is calling anyone? What chapter in the Police and Fire Department Handbook covers glacier removal?
Lake Winnebago, a huge lake in east central Wisconsin, has a history of regularly creating glaciers as the ice breaks up.
It makes for great TV, if you don't own the property being affected!

Living near Mille Lacs I've seen this often over the years. Quite impressive display of force. Drove by the west and northwest sides today. A bunch of open water on these sides of course. A few boats fishing up next to the ice. Tomorrow looks to blow 10-20mph out of the south so the ice will start moving north and piling up if it gets some force behind it.

When I was in Germany in '76 or '77, my Mom sent me a newspaper picture of an ice shove on the east side of Lake Winnebago. It dwarfed Jim & Linda's supper club. I think it was 45+ feet high! Wind and Ice can do some amazing things.

theres actually a follow up video on youtube, they did call someone and they brought
out a front end loader or bull dozer and pushed it away from the apartments.
