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.

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.

[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.

No worry, in fact we hope the lakes go down another foot or so. The lakes in the past several years have too much water and are overflowing seawalls and islands.

I live on the not so great Lake St Clair midway between Huron and Erie, it is a welcome relief to have the lakes losing water.

MSN has taught us that water is measured in swimming pools rather than acre feet

I know Lake Michigan on the Michigan side. For the last several years the Lake has been at very, very high levels with cottages falling into the lake. Friends and other owners brought in huge rocks and boulders to break the waves and erosion. They ruined and probably can’t get back the beaches they once had(as the water recedes) because the boulders are too big to now remove. But they did probably save their properties.

The lake levels aren’t dropping. The land is rising.

DETROIT — Lake Michigan appears to have hit its seasonal low for 2021 and lake levels are expected to begin their seasonal rise, according to the latest report from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which tracks and forecasts Great Lakes water levels.

Lakes Michigan and Huron, treated as one body of water in the Army Corps’ measurements and analysis, are about 1 foot below their record-breaking level last year of 581.63 feet, and about 2 feet above average water level for the last century.

Water temperatures along the shores of Lake Michigan are expected to dip into the 50s and upper 40s this week, according to the National Weather Service.
The Army Corps reported Lake Michigan-Huron did not rise at all during the month of March, when it usually rises an average of 2 inches.

The latest six-month projections for Lake Michigan-Huron from the Army Corps show lake levels remaining about 2 feet above average through the lake’s seasonal rise, peaking in July.

Last year, Lake Michigan set monthly lake level records every month through August.

Though the lake is not expected to reach 2020’s highs, the Army Corps is still warning of the potential for erosion and shoreline damage this season.

“There continues to be an increased risk of shoreline erosion, lakeshore flooding and coastal damages,” reads the Army Corps’ report.

“The International Lake Superior Board of Control (Board) advises all those that may be affected to prepare for potentially severe coastal impacts, especially during periods of strong winds and high waves.”

The International Joint Commission’s Great Lakes – St. Lawrence River Adaptive Management (GLAM) Committee asks businesses and property owners affected by high water conditions to report their experiences to the GLAM in an online questionnaire. GLAM is collecting data on the the impacts of high-water conditions on the Great Lakes.
