    That is some crazy natural phenomenon right there.

    This is a common occurrence in Minnesota especially on the north shore of Lake Superior. I have seen houses pushed off of their foundations which are built too close to the water.

    Property owners occasionally return to their cabins in the spring only to discover they are dealing with property damage caused by a phenomenon called “ice heaving” or “ice jacking”. This powerful natural force forms a feature along the shoreline known as an “ice ridge”. The result may include significant damage to retaining walls, docks and boat lifts, and sometimes even to the cabin itself.
