Shocking tsunami of ice collapses in central Canada and the northern U.S., forcing residents in panic from their homes.
Icy waves reached the shore, like a slow-motion tsunami frozen after going over the lawns and reaching coastal homes.
Icy tsunami was caused by strong winds, which reached a speed of 60 km per hour, and rose from the southern shore of Lake Mille Lacs - the second largest lake in Minnesota, USA.
A similar event took place on Friday in the Canadian province of Manitoba, where the wind picked up a pile of ice in Dauphin Lake, destroying six homes and damaged about 14. Miraculously, none of the residents was injured. People reported that they heard a sound like the sound of a passing train, and in the blink of an eye the ice filled the house.
A layer of ice covered the 16 km of coastline and reached the 9-meter-high, damaging the doors and windows of houses.
The province was declared a state of emergency, and residents were evacuated. For many, it has become even more dramatic event, as many homes have only recently been restored after the flooding in 2011.
