Lake Levels

Were you worried about the Great Lakes water levels? It was only two years ago it was a huge problem. Dock were sitting in the air with water far away. People were gaining lake front property.

According to the US Army Corps of Engineers, the water supply to the Lake Superior Basin was near the long-term average for the month of April and Lakes Michigan and Huron were above average.

Lake Superior is about six inches below its long-term average for May and it is two inches above the level recorded a year ago. This past month, the level of Lake Superior rose by about three inches, which is the same as its average rise.

Lakes Michigan and Huron rose by about five inches in April, while the lakes usually rise by about four inches each April. The level of lakes Michigan and Huron are about seven inches below their long-term average beginning of May levels and they are about 10 inches higher than a year ago.

Now wasn't that interesting? What does it mean? No more out of the water docks.
