People living on the East Coast over Lake Erie in New York can’t believe what they’re going through. During the weekend, their houses were ravaged by gale-force winds and 15-foot waves from the lake which encased the structures in 1-to-3 inch thick ice.
“It looks fake, it looks unreal,” local resident Ed Mis told CNN. “It’s dark on the inside of my house. It can be a little eerie, a little frightening.”
The man said that there was no ice in his yard on Thursday but by Friday morning his home and others were completely covered.
After footage of the frozen neighborhood went viral, it has even become a tourist attraction. However, police officials are asking visitors to stay away for their own safety.
Local police issued a statement on Sunday, informing that sightseers could also face trespassing charges if they choose to disobey. “Not only is the ice extremely unsafe and unstable, [but the majority is also] in areas which are private property,” they said.
