They actually got it worse up in MI. Lake conditions were worse than those that sunk the Fitzgerald.
Info released today by the National Weather Service:
New record set today for the lowest pressure in a non-tropical storm in the mainland U.S. The massive storm system barreling across the central U.S. had a minimum central pressure of 28.24" or 956 mb (equivalent to the minimum pressure of a Category 3 hurricane). This breaks the old record of 28.28" (958 mb), set on ...Jan. 26, 1978, during the Blizzard of 1978 (aka the Cleveland Sueprbomb). This is also lower than the March 1993 Superstrom (aka "The Storm of the Century"), or the "Witch of November" storm that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975, or even the Columbus Day Storm of Oct. 1962.

Looks like we will have to get some feelers out to see what the river is like... 
Or... Worst case, we can all practice our 0 viz diving skills!

Viz was okay. 5 feet. Found one pipe stem. Lots of fish including bass, perch, two sizable carp, what I believe was either a Muskie or gar pike--didn't see the face. Boneholder saw a mud puppy. They are now best friends.
Actually, the mudpuppy scared the crap out of me today. Was digging in the river. So 0 viz and the mudpuppy must have been haning out in the wall I was digging in. It swam out and smacked me in the mask. Definately wasn't what I was expecting! Guess thats Halloween weekend diving for you!
OP
Only one manatee and a beluga whale in the river today.
