Well, being a farm boy, in the Maumee River water shed, I know it is due to the rain, our rivers and ditches have been full every week for 2 months. Climate change is real, it always has been, climates have changed many times and are cyclical.. Global warming due to man? Personally I am not so convinced. Hearing farm reports, the rain has been excessive in most all of the Great lakes watersheds. Remember our phone discussion about the ice piles at "The Cliffs" ? A whole lot of things can happen over a 1000 or 10,000 years.

I would say that these high water levels will be very beneficial to wetland creatures as it has expanded them quite a bit.
