gale warning on lake michigan today. 40 mph wind, gusting up to 55 mph, blaring right at me out of the NNE.

my normal 50 minute commute turned into an hour and 15 minutes. that's a no joke head wind. i was nearly blown right over by some of the stronger gusts on multiple occasions. the lake was going nuts, the marine forecast says waves may build to 20 ft. by this evening, which is insane for lake michigan.

if the wind holds up this afternoon, it's likely that i'll break the sound barrier on the ride home
