For one, I think lake Erie's prevailing winds are out of the southwest, so
my guess is there is much less of a chance for a sustained wind out of the
east to cause what you are referring to as often as we woud see what
recently happened on the west end of the lake. Second the eastern end of
the lake is the deeper end, requiring much more energy to produce the same
impact.

My father went and looked out upon Maumee Bay (on the western end of Lake
Erie), during this last wind storm. IT WAS EMPTY!

Thanks for the info, interesting, so what would happen during a time when
there are very strong easterly winds, drawing the high seas to the western
side of the lake Erie and leaving the Buffalo side very low, I think its
only around 15 -20ft around there anyway. Should the water be bunched up at
the Western side of the lake, leaving very little volume on the Eastern
side, and the two huge hydro generating plants need their water, there could
be very very little left over for the falls itself???
