Do you know what a seiche is?
I had never heard the term. Last week, the dentist's receptionist asked if Lake Huron had tides. I said, no, but then we ended up talking about how both of us, on occasion, have seen the surf go out and not come back in for a long, long time.
So today the paper had an article on the effect of seiche and the anniversary of the killer derecho. Online version here:
