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!
