Green Bay Press-Gazette - Lake levels exceed expectations

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that lake levels exceed expectations.

Lakes Michigan and Huron are not only rising, they�re rising faster than normal for spring, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Thursday.

The rise could signal a significant trend away from the low levels that have caused many shoreline problems in recent years. Lakes Michigan and Huron rose 7 inches in the last 30 days. That level is 9 inches higher than last year and only 14 inches below normal for May.
