A seiche on Lake Erie exposed old artifacts along Michigan’s shore due to sudden wind and temperature changes.

A rare seiche on Lake Erie, caused by strong winds and a sudden temperature drop, temporarily lowered water levels along Michigan’s shoreline, exposing submerged objects including a vintage VW Beetle, a likely 60- to 70-year-old ring, and a deteriorated snowmobile. The artifacts were discovered by explorers at Luna Pier Beach and Erie Beach and shared on social media. Water levels are expected to slowly return to normal as winds subside, though full stabilization may take time. The event underscores how extreme weather can reveal historical remnants beneath the Great Lakes.
