Back-to-back days of severe weather brought widespread flooding across the Midwest – and even a tsunami on Lake Michigan . It wasn't the typical kind of tsunami caused by seismic activity, but footage of the weather event showed how dangerous rising tides can be.
Unlike metotsunamis, which are triggered by atmospheric conditions, regular tsunamis are triggered by seismic activity and can get far larger and leave significantly more damage in their wake. Meteotsunamies have achieved heights of roughly 6 feet, with one in April 2018 unleashing an 8-foot wave in Lake Michigan, while tsunami waves can exceed 100 feet. However, identifying the event can be difficult.
