Big yikes, that's amazing.

I took a look at Lake Erie about an hour ago (midnight) and the waves
aren't all that high. It's very windy, but it's a South wind so the
near shore isn't too rough.

In today's Detroit Free Press:

Water level at Toledo had been averaging 24" over datum. At height of storm,
the level had dropped to -72" from datum. About 8' change.
Buffalo expected to be +100"

I can remember a strong november storm of a couple of years ago. Bolles Harbor
where I keep my boat was bone dry, not a drop of water anywhere in the harbor
that was a drop of 12'. Any boats still in were sitting on the bottom. Waves
were reported to be 25' to 30' at the eastern Buffalo end of the lake. Yikes.

153 days to go..

What happens on the East side of Lake Erie (Buffalo area) when the SW winds
push that much water? Would the Upper Niagara River fill up and more volume
of water fall over the Falls? Then a less volume of water on average would
have to fall for a few days after that? Cool

The amount of water going over the falls is regulated by the electric
generating plants. After midnight, you can actually see the difference
in the amount of water going over the falls, they fill a huge lake at
night to generate power. During the day, the amount of water going
over the falls is regulated by treaties between the U.S. and Canada.
If not for those treaties, both countries would be sucking it dry!
