Since the afternoon of the 24th, the United States and Canada have been hit by a huge storm. The extremely low temperature and strong winds freeze the Niagara River. The ice chunks on the river are blown by strong winds and rush out of the retaining wall. The frozen chunks stack up to the river bank and move towards a busy road. The landscape of the ice tsunami is rare and strange.
The ice shoves are caused by strong winds, currents, temperature changes, and other factors that push the ice chunks to the shore. Strong winds cause an "ice tsunami" on the shore of Lake Erie on the US-Canada border. The storm hits the Buffalo City in northern New York, where temperatures fell below the freezing point, and the surface of the Lake Erie quickly froze. The ice near the Peace Bridge, which connects Fort Erie, Canada and Buffalo, New York, is up to 12 meters. The United States and Canada are hit by a storm with a speed of 110 kilometers per hour. The road trees are blown down; many flights are delayed or cancelled. The land is snow-covered; the roads are slippery and foggy. The visibility on the 26th was below 100 meters. 50 to 70 cars collided on the Canadian highway, but fortunately there were no major casualties.
Strong winds have downed trees and knocked out power to 625,000 people in the Great Lakes region and the Northeast. The Governor of Erie County has warned the residents not to go out if they don’t have important things to deal with.
