It was a tough morning on Lake Erie... 200 ice fisherman were trapped on an ice flow that broke loose and drifted away. U.S. Coast Guard Air Stations Traverse City and Detroit launched helicopters with rescue swimmers. Ground Coast Guard Stations launched airboats. Multiple Fire Departments and EMS agencies responded. EMS performed Triage / Treatment / Transport to multiple victims. Fortunately no one died thanks to the swift actions of first responders.
Wind direction and speed, ice conditions and more contributed to the emergency. Let’s be careful out there!

Anybody else notice the 200 or so disgruntled-looking housewives standing at the shoreline with ice picks and axes about the same time as the floe drifted "out to sea"?

Suddenly floating away on a piece of ice doesn’t sound so bad
You have a monkey Mr. Munson?

I think the title has the makings of a good blues song.
