Great Lakes water levels expected to increase by 2020
MICHIGAN - Monthly mean water levels continued to set records in September with Lake Superior tying its monthly record high and Lakes St. Clair and Erie setting new record-high September levels. On Lakes Michigan-Huron and Ontario, water levels remain well above average and near record levels. During the spring, the lakes tend to rise due to increased precipitation and increased runoff as a result of snowmelt. We refer to the combined effect of precipitation over the lake, evaporation from the lake, and runoff to the lake as Net Basin Supply (NBS). This edition of the Water Level Outlook incorporates the projection of water levels if the cumulative NBS over the next 12 months is a repeat of last year (high), near average, or a lower cumulative NBS scenario.

Day care where kids died in fire wasn't inspected for smoke detectors
As family members mourn the death of five children in a Pennsylvania day care fire, questions remain about why the home apparently didn't have enough smoke detectors. (CNN) - The Pennsylvania home day care where five children died in a fire early Sunday wasn't inspected by state or local authorities for smoke detectors because of loopholes in regulations, officials said Tuesday. State regulations indicate there should have been one on each floor of the two-story home. By the time the detector went off, the house was already filled with smoke, Santone said. State Sen. Dan Laughlin said he has drawn up legislation to have smoke detector checks added to DHS inspections of day care facilities.
