Record High Great Lakes Water Level Expected to Climb Higher in 2020

15,000 years ago, just a blink-of-the-eye in geologic terms, there were no Great Lakes. Instead there was a chunk of ice covering this area somewhere between 1 mile to 2 miles thick. Think about that for a minute. The ice started receding due to global warming around that time without any help from humans. So what is the depth of the lakes supposed to be? That’s impossible for anyone to know.

We should just let Nestle bottle it all up and sell it to California!

Kidding aside, it's going to be a real mess next year if the lake levels go any higher. I was at the Orchard Beach State Park the Fall before last and even then it was already looking like the stone pavilion mentioned in the Freep article was a goner. I can't see how they can save it long term without moving it off the water, and with its location that might not even be possible.
