What are the tallest waves that lighthouses experience? We saw a documentary on lighthouses of New York State along Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. All the footage was shot in sunlight. Everything looked so quaint, especially the lighthouse homes that are now private residences.
Following that I saw a picture of Roker Pier Sunderland in the North Sea and the wave was so large and wide that only the top of the lighthouse showed. One can go see pictures of waves crashing onto people HERE. The first picture shows two men at a lighthouse about to be hit by a 30 foot wall of water. It says they were rescued.
Maybe these pictures are so compelling because they remind me of the massive impact of COVID-19 - it is like these pictures and is just about to happen.
The news today says Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, the wife of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tested positive for the virus. The Prime Minister is working from home for 14 days.

The list of suspended and cancelled events is getting long.
