per hour expected.
* WHERE…Gary to Michigan City IN.
* WHEN…Until 6 AM CST early this morning.
* IMPACTS…Operating a vessel in heavy freezing spray is

superstructures may result in a catastrophic loss of
stability. Strong winds will cause hazardous waves which could
capsize or damage vessels and reduce visibility.
