It begins to brew in late fall, after the leaves have fallen and the birds have gone south. The calm waters of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay begin to ripple and the wind picks up. Spurts and gusts shuffle the sand. And when dark clouds roll in, storm watching really gets underway. Hold on to your hats because Mother Nature lets it rip, full on with thunder, lightning, pelting rain and crashing waves.
The Great Lakes are notorious for fall storms, and on the Bruce Peninsula you can catch them on either side – Lake Huron or Georgian Bay – depending on which way the wind is blowing. Indeed, here you can double your chances for witnessing nature’s own fireworks.
