Each of these storms are unique in their own way - the date they occurred, their location, intensity, etc.
The Fitzgerald Storm deepened to 972mb when north of Lake Superior, and generated very strong wind gusts over Lake Superior from the Keweenaw Peninsula to just north of the Huron Mountain then propagating those winds easterly during the early afternoon and evening of November 10th.
Highest winds were officially reported to the National Weather Service by the John Dykstra. While out on Lake Huron she reported at 10AM, winds 64 knots, gusting to 70 knots and waves 15 feet. The J. Burton Ayers while near Saginaw Bay reported winds of 46 knots and 20 foot waves. Now there were higher wind and wave reports from vessels, but they were never submitted to the national Weather Service.
The Carl D. Bradley storm tracked west of the Great Lakes and had a low pressure of 976mb at 1:00AM on November 18, deepening to 972mb on November 19th when located near James Bay.
The Daniel J. Morrell storm at 988mb was the weakest of the three and on November 29, 1966 at 1:00AM, it was located north of Toronto.
A lot of data that a meteorologist would want is missing, though there are re-analysis datasets available to analyze a weather event such as these three storms. But direct surface observations, especially out on the lakes is sparse the farther back in time you go.
Out of these three storms, the Edmund Fitzgerald Storm is the one I've given the most analysis to. Mainly because of the paucity of re-analysis weather datasets and computational power. But I certainly have to do case studies of the Carl D. Bradley and Daniel J. Morrell storms, if only to put them into context with each other..
