Something else to worry about.
Funny they don't mention climate change or global warming. I think they're being more cautions and letting people fill in the blanks since people are tired of all the claims.

My parents have had a cottage on Lake Huron for over 40 years.
It is a fact that all of the Great Lakes go thru high and low years.

Sea level is rising also I thought.
The Great Lakes are connected to the Atlantic Ocean aren’t they?

Hyperbole and proper word choice to illicit the greatest emotive response to an otherwise dull headline is an entire sub-discipline of modern journalism.

The Great Lakes are primarily filled by warm wet precipitation coming up from the south. Cold dry precipitation from the north dries out the lakes.

Funny they don't mention climate change or global warming. I think they're being more cautions and letting people fill in the blanks since people are tired of all the claims. The propaganda has devolved to "Do you have hemorrhoids? Blame climate change!"
The "science" journalists are pretty unrelenting in their propaganda. Almost every online signs article makes a small mention of global warming and climate change, even if the main topic isn't really related and they have to work hard to jimmy it in.

I was told in school in the 90s that Lake Michigan and the other Great Lakes would never recover from their record lows and to get use to expanded beaches.

In the same way as any other lake is: through rivers. Superior is 600 ft asl, Huron and Michigan are ~580 ft, Erie is 577 ft, and Ontario is 480 or so.
After Ontario, there is the Saint Lawrence river that carries the water to the sea.

I was thinking the same. I remember a few years ago Erie (maybe others) had significant flooding, docks floating off pilings, etc.

They spill into it quite spectacularly via Niagara Falls and more gradually via the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Same here on the Georgian Bay. We built what is basically pier to replace docks in the late 70’s. Within a few years the water had dropped so much we started having to add docks onto the end of it to get past the low water. Last time we were up there the water was back up again. I've been told there are 2 different cycles the control the water depth. A long term one that lasts around 30 years and short term ones that go over 7 years with a smaller rise and fall.

[Austin Powers voice] One million pools.
Love it how they try to scare people with big numbers which amount is trivial compared to the size of the lake itself.
Now do it again using tablespoons.

Don’t look at me. I didn’t take it.
