    A grim reminder

    Exact same weather phenomena that put the Fitzgerald to the bottom of Superior in '75. And it is eerie; look at the dates of that storm and the dates of the Fitzgerald storm. Nov 9- 10- 11. And the meteorologist also said other major storms in other years on those three days as well.
