Interesting. I'd never heard of a seiche (pronounced Say-sh). It seems there was a storm the beginning of this week blowing west to east. That storm with 60mph winds caused waves that got up to 20'. And it caused the water level of the west end of Lake Erie to drop by 7.5 feet (moved the shore by out by up to ¼ of a mile), and the east end of the lake was 6 feet higher than usual for a spread of 13.5 feet between the two ends of the lake.

Folks expected this phenomenon and went exploring. Part of an old VW that had fallen through the ice while pulling skiers was exposed. A snowmobile that fell through the ice was also exposed.



I was looking at "seiche" expecting it to be pronounced differently. And it was coined by a Swiss person which cemented my theory that everyone was pronouncing it wrong, but after a little search, I discovered that it was French/Swiss, not German/Swiss, so I guess the pronunciation is correct.
