All the rain in the Great Lakes region has the lakes rising at a rapid clip. Lakes Michigan and Huron rose 8 inches in the last two months alone. It takes close to 400 billion gallons of water to raise each lake one inch. Lake Superior is close to 16 inches higher than it was last year, in some areas.
