DULUTH (WJON News) -- The National Weather Service in Duluth says with large waves, the walkway next to the canal filled up Thursday next to the Lift Bridge - and for good reason!

Thanks to the low-pressure overhead and strong northeast winds, the level of Lake Superior rose a foot in Duluth over 12 hours.
