1916 Black Friday Storm
text:
Black Friday (1916) was October 20, the day a "perfect storm" hit Lake Erie, sinking four large ships, killing forty-nine people. The ships that were dispatched to the depths by the violent weather were the James B. Colgate, Marshall F. Butters, D.L. Filer and the Mérida. In the western part of the lake, "the convergence of two high pressure systems and a minor hurricane" created the devastating force that day.
