Officials in Ottawa County this morning worked to rescue more than 100 people who were trapped on the waters of Lake Erie just off Catawba State Park.
The sheriff's office confirmed the people became stranded on the ice after a piece broke loose. While many were able to safely walk across the ice back to land, 46 had to be rescued.
The scene is now clear, and the U.S. Coast Guard confirms everyone was rescued and they do not believe there were any injuries.

Crews from the sheriff's office, the U.S. Coast Guard, Catawba Township, and Put-in-Bay all assisted. The Ohio Emergency Management Agency also posted a video from the scene.
The Coast Guard further wrote on Facebook:
"Remember, 'no ice is safe ice'. If you’re going to partake in ice activities; wear a life jacket, check ice conditions and weather reports before going out, file a float plan with a family member or friend, carry a hand held GPS, EPIRB, marine radio, and a cell-phone."
