High and dry in M!chigan

Water levels in the three upper Great Lakes are wavering far below normal, and experts expect Lake Superior, the northernmost lake, to reach a record low in the next two months, according to data from the international bodies that monitor the Great Lakes, the world’s largest freshwater reservoir....

One-third of the Michigan boat ramps are unusable.

Michigan has more registered boats than any other state - it's said that nobody in Michigan lives more than an hour from a body of water, four of which are Great (and when we say great we mean grrrreat) Lakes (Superior, Michigan, Huron, and Erie). And the way things stand now, maybe more grumpy people too.
