It was a beautiful fall morning at Black River Landing!

We couldn’t pass up the chance to send the drone up for a view of the landing, Lorain Harbor, and Lake Erie.

Plenty of boats were out enjoying the calm water and making the most of this gorgeous October day!

In addition to the large waterspout we captured Friday, the Lorain Lighthouse Camera also caught several smaller areas of surface circulation even closer to the harbor.

These two clips show them beginning to take shape near the water surface before fading away, never becoming as large or well-defined as the waterspout we shared earlier.

Check out this waterspout that appeared just north of Lorain Harbor! We captured this amazing sight live on the Lorain Lighthouse Cam just a few minutes ago as a storm moved into the area.

It lasted roughly two minutes before retreating into the clouds. This 30-second timelapse gives you a clearer look at how it formed and dissipated!

Our Executive Director, Tiffany McClelland, joined regional business and community leaders at the Lorain County Chamber of Commerce's 2026 Economic Summit this week to discuss economic development, opportunities for growth and the challenges facing our region.

From infrastructure and workforce development to attracting new investment, conversations like these are an important part of shaping Lorain County's future.
