A video surfaced on Monday of footage from Lake Millie Lacks in Minnesota that captured an ice wave as it came ashore .High winds blew huge chunks of ice into homes and businesses along the shore and in some areas it piled up to 30 feet high.

According to The Inquister, as the ice wave progressed ashore it sounded like cracked glass shattering, it was so powerful that it eventually destroyed homes.

The incident occurred on a lake about 80 miles north of Minneapolis, where strong northerly winds pushed the melting ice from the middle of the lake toward the shore.

"It basically has the same mechanism of an iceberg," said CNN meteorologist Todd Boreck. "Winds, but more so ocean currents, allow icebergs to drift."

"Same premise: A chunk of ice (relatively shallow) was pushed by a strong, sustained wind. The momentum of the ice sheet overcame the friction of the land."

The ice was piled several feet high in some places, it apparently crept along the ground like lava as it made its way toward homes along the lake shore.

In the video provided below from a woman whose house was along the shore you can see the ice wave moving at a slow rate and as it began to build up around the doors and windows of her home, she eventually announced that it destroyed a door.

Her home was not the only one damaged by the ice wave in fact the ice wave destroyed six homes.

"It was just pushing and breaking and pushing and breaking," said Darla Johnson, who made the video of the ice wave.

Minnesota wasn't the only place to see a destructive wave come ashore. On Friday one struck on Dauphin Lake in Alberta, about 75 miles northwest of Winnipeg. Some residents are worried that this is just the beginning.

"This is worse than a flood, because with a flood, the water just goes through and it's finished. With this, there's still so much ice out on the lake that if the wind picks up again, it could start all over," homeowner Elaine Davis.
