I remember a story and video a couple of years ago about an ice shove coming ashore along Lake Huron. It was trashing some houses.

Here is something I never knew:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrow,_Alaska

In 1935 the famous humorist Will Rogers and pilot Wiley Post made an unplanned stop at Walakpa Bay 15 mi (24 km) south of Barrow while enroute to Barrow. As they took off again their plane stalled and plunged into a river, killing them both. There are now two memorials at the location, now called the Rogers-Post Site. There is another memorial located in Barrow, where the airport has been renamed the Wiley Post–Will Rogers Memorial Airport.[22]

I knew that the airport was named Will Rogers, but never knew why until now.
