Imagine coming home from work and seeing 20 feet of ice in your back yard or even worse, part of your home smashed in by an Ice Shove or Ice Tsunami.
With winds gusting to over forty miles per hour this afternoon, the remaining large ice field that had yet to melt on Mille Lacs Lake was pushed on the eastern shoreline like a massive Ice Tsunami or Ice Shove.
When the ice on Mille Lacs Lake starts to move in high winds, it is basically similar to a Glacier moving and will not stop until it crashes on shore and into anything in its path which will be pushed out of the way including large boulders and tracks of land and even a house.
Mille Lacs Lake is a large lake that is over 200 square miles and is about 100 miles north of Minneapolis, MN.
Footage includes ground B-Roll, Drone B-Roll and clips from inside the house with the home owner.

Icy roads are to blame for at least one fatal crash in Wichita Sunday morning as more than two dozen crashes were reported in less than two hours on city highways as freezing rain moved in late in the morning. Crashes closed several highways and exits as crews cleaned up the wrecks left behind from the icy conditions.
One of the fatal crashes occurred on the north side of the city at I-135/I-235. That area was shut down for a couple hours.
