Sustained wind speeds at South Bass Island Lighthouse were recorded at  34-44 knots (39-50 mph) between the hours of 3:10pm and 5pm.  Lake conditions around Put-in-Bay were truly dynamic.  The southwest wind pushed harbor water levels down while creating two-story splashes along the South Bass Island State Park.  On a generally mild day, with bright sunshine and air temperature of 5o°F, the turbulent air mass appeared out-of-place.
