A Canadian city has become like a screen from the Game of Thrones
A small town froze over because of a winter storm and frost. The houses turned into ice huts.
Crystal Beach is the name of a lakefront village in Fort Erie, Ontario. Today the roofs and walls of houses and parked cars are covered with a large layer of ice.
According to a local resident, the waves were so powerful (3-4.5 m), the wind reached 100 km/h, and the frost froze the water so fast that the sight was terrifying. The ice crust reached almost 0.3 m. The wind lifted waves that flooded the walls of nearby houses. Any droplets left on the surface froze, causing ice to form.
Such bad weather is not typical for this area at all. Yes, there have been winds and frosts, but to turn the place into a surreal realm of ice is at first. The locals are already terrified of what will happen when the ice melts.
As a consequence, many local residents were left without electricity — 15,000 people. So far, 3,900 homes have not had their lights restored. The destruction of homes and damage to cars would be enormous.
Another surreal sight is the frozen Niagara Falls.
