We have a very modest cottage near where M-89 and Lakeshore dr. Intersects south of Saugatuck. We have lost approx 20 feet on top of the bluff and it keeps eating away almost daily. We are in a very high bluff area and have no beach below. Luckily the cottage was moved back in 1982.

Sorry the lakes go up the lakes go down. The funny thing it was not long ago they were crying how low they were. Should of took advantage of the low and put sea walls in.
This is, of course, after years of Lake Michigan being up to 6 feet below its average level of 581’. above mean sea level. Shores aren’t disappearing; they’re still right there. They vary. That’s why property descriptions are written to recognize that fact. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
I had the same thought. I also heard nothing about climate change and it's impact. The great lake region is getting exactly what was predicted years ago - more rain and severe weather.
Cru Jones i for one am worried about global warming witch is causeing all these issues...including the virus....china cant produce enough food for thier people so they are turning to eating bats ect......when the water rises u lose land...see ? Its all connected . I try to be as knowledgeable as possible how all things are intertwined......the fact is one thing leads to another
Kelly Evans- the earth has been warming and cooling itself for a long time before humans were here. There was an ice age at one point. It’s just on a warming trend i’m sure we “humans” aren’t helping but this is a natural phenomenon.
Winner winner chicken dinner. Food trucks and RV parking. If you can't move it to high ground in an hour we don't need it. With the exception of harbors for fuel, freight and recreational boating why waste all the materials on disposable houses.
My Lake Ontario property is not lake front, there is a row of camps on a bluff in front of it, but my property will be lake front one day thanks to erosion and the bluff falling into the lake...
"Honey, i'm sick and tired of these high water levels threatening our home, let's move to Hawaii under that active volcano.I hear that the nearby lava flows add acres of land to the area."
The only way to stop the erosion is sheet pilings, the pillings will have to be deep enough to prevent the soil to be eroded away...unless you want to pay millions to build a decent bulkhead, you will always have a chance to lose your backyard.
@trevor When i drive by oceans, i see multimillion dollars homes built where you can hear the water at night like, " hey! You do know that im here right?" or people go on the highest peak of the mountain... We live in Cali, plate tectonics...... Its not "if"... Its "when" and 1 way road goes up there.... We got fires.. How u gona escape via 1 way roads; there r lines. I have seen rich ppl make very "poor" decisions. I am not without sympathy at all. Water was there all along, and whoever underestimates the power of even a 5 gallon water.... Let alone, rivers and oceans! I pray for all of us!
:) A few years back they reported water level in the lakes dropping. Every year dropping, oh horror - scared voices and faces. Now the water is raising - still bad? Well, it's life - glaciers grow and recede, year temperatures rise and fall, it's been like this since formation of the planet.
Global warming is not the cause. Look up Planet X, Nibiru or Wormwood; a few of us are aware of what is really happening, but most won't know until the real cataclysms begin.
Heartbreaking, you use to be somewhat able to figure out what the Lake levels would do now it's almost impossible and yes you have to get creative to try and stop the water it is frustrating and expensive not to mention nerve-wracking when the wind decides to blows your way every day you watch the weather reports let's hope 2021 is better. { Lake Erie viewer}
It is futile to rage against Mother Nature. She will always win. The great lakes shore line is always in flux. Build close to the water & you will lose.
I live in SW Michigan. These images break my heart, to be sure. We are facing a difficult climate reality. Increased rainfall and weather patterns lends itself to erosion. I live on Lake Michigan. Here, in Berrien County, our economy is driven by fruit production and tourists (especially during the summer). I have witnessed erosion firsthand. It will be interesting to see how Lansing and Washington DC proceed on this. The idea of waiting to see "what will happen" does not make any damn sense to me...not one iota. We are in the process of getting our roads fixed. We need to address shoreline protection and remedy this issue as appropriate. I am proud of the fact that when we put our collective heads together, Michiganders can get things done.
@Oskar Dirlewanger I agree. These climate alarmists have completely ignored the fact that global cooling created the glaciers that carved out the depressions that became the Great Lakes due to global warming. Global warming and cooling are perfectly natural phenomena and occur without the help of mankind. They need to learn the difference between weather cycles and climate cycles. The only thing unchanging whether it be weather or climate is the fact that weather and climate are constantly changing. Oh, one more thing, flowing water causes erosion.
@@brianmcdaid3178 Yes, the climate has always been in flux but usually the rate of change has been much slower than it is now. Humans didn't invent climate change, they just accelerated it. You are right, there is no need to be alarmed, we know how it works and there are things we could do to mediate it if only we would.
Lake Michigan has been on the rise for 20 years. They`ve had Plenty of time to address the issue. They just didn`t want their pristine beaches looking like shit.
the reasons they built on shorelines like these is that in the past when something like this would happen the gourments would help the communities rebuild and in the processus people ended up with new free houses worth 30 times the price of the original ones and people would make huge profits when they sold them a few years later . But now the gouverments do not help anymore cause they realised that people were simply abusing the system when they could have gotten a geological survey done to see if it was worth it to build there . People who built there new exactly that the shores would erode eventually and that when it would happen the gouverments would relocate them a bit farther from the sure with houses worth 30 times what they had spent on the first ones .But the trick doesn't work anymore . now the goverment gives you what your property was really worth and you cannot rebuild anywhere near the shore line and it was about time they did that to . Here in quebec back in the days when a guy wanted to build a cottage on a lake shore in the forest you needed a permit but the permits was given only after a servey of the location where you wanted to build was done by the local ministry to see if they would allow it and many times people wouldn't get the authorisation so people started to pull a fast one on the ministry and built before asking for the permit so since the cottage was already built the ministry decided to give a lot number . But after a couple of decades people had exagerated to much on that little fast one and recently close to Quebec city one person decided to build a 750,000 dollars cottage in an area where the ministry would normally not give any permits and lot numbers and when they found the cottage that had been recently built they sent the guy a notice to either move or demolish his illegal house . the guy went to court to try to win his case and stay there but the court decided that the choice to build there was on him and that he exactly knew about the restriction to not build there . since then he made several appeals but lost all of them and the house has been demolished about 2 years ago
Scientist know that dust particles in the atmosphere are what condensation builds around to make rain .the amount of dust from worldwide volcanic action in the last 10 years has increased it doesn’t appear to be slowing ,so you can expect the water levels to rise.Why these people are not being told is anyone’s guess
My thought is ... Why the HELL is everyone actng so surprised? .. it's a normal and expected thing for shorelines to erode ... I mean how do they think there's a sandy cliff there in the first place?
"All the great lakes "exept" Michigan and Huron " hmm. 5 lakes, 2 have no change. Michigan and Huron join togather at Mackinac strait. Down to 4. So 50% is rising, oooh that's all great lakes.
Oh booo. No one totally knows what effect climate change is going to have but it's obviously happening. No one is still denying it. Even the GOP isn't that dumb.
Well mr gop, no one is sure what mans reckless works eventually will do....eventually I think al was right but first we will all be flooded out....thanks to reckless environmental protections being done away with by every single american gop president since ive been alive. Im 58
Water levels will rise and fall. The army corp of engineers have constructed ramp-like devices that allow water to flow thru and over them but collect sand, thus extending beaches into the lake. Would not be cheap--but you should get something more for your taxes than nothing. A little work done consistently gets things done. Never getting started means never getting done.
I have no sorrow for most of these people. Too bad so sad your 5 million dollar home is falling into Lake Michigan. Y'all have the money to move it or tear it down and rebuild. Fork put the dough and let's get on with life.
Interesting. In 2012 the ranting and raving was about the lowest water levels ever in the Great Lakes. The concern was how to get the levels back. Now the tune has changed and it’s the highest levels. It’s a good thing most folks can’t remember what they ate a day ago let alone reports from a few years ago or they would see the contradictions. Follow the money. Who is making money off this and what political gains are there? What is the desired narrative? The truth is not of value at all, it’s the afore mentioned that’s desired.
Global warming began in 2015 and in 2016 the Great Lakes experienced land erosion and nothing was done. In 2019 ...... March, April, May, and June, the rain was constant and unrelenting and the ground was saturated. I am not surprised the water levels are taking over the land and the water is rising and homes are being washed away. We are losing our shorelines and the homes along the shorelines with many insurance companies not covering erosion.
What can a little fresh water pond do to my waterfront home? It was always placid when we went there to look at the building site. The drone footage is really telling how feeble men's efforts against nature. The fact that the lakefront is just a sand dune tells you the dune has been migrating for eons.
Divert Great lake water to drought states like UTAH, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas through Gravity, Canals, Pipes and Tunnels. Estimated cost would be around $20 Billion based on distance between UTAH and Great lakes. Cities and towns which are around Great lake can be saved and shortage of water can be reduced in drought states.
U want 2 drain off the GREAT LAKES 2 other states 2 save houses built on cliffs from erosion? I can't even begin 2 I just can't comment on yr ignorance.
Not along the Great Lakes shorelines. Melting glaciers and more torrential storms increase the water levels. Land erosion is a natural part of life on planet Earth. Native people built away from water and they knew you don’t pollute the water you need to survive.
There are two sides to every scenario; one home owner loses their home to foreclosure, another buys a home for 50 cents on the dollar. As usual, all focus is placed on the foreclosed home owner. Vanishing shorelines is the emphasis here and not a hint of any solution. The sky is falling. What can be done? you ask...put some one in charge who knows what to do then stay out of his (or her) way. You look silly standing there wearing a surgical mask with a finger in your ear.
This and the Mississippi flooding every year is why there needs to be a snow water reclamation program to funnel all that water where we need it not out to the ocean send it under the mountain come out about Boise and then we'd have water in Utah and Nevada and that's really needed right now
Shore lines have been eroding ever since there have been shorelines. Without plate tectonics, uphevels, earthquakes, volcanoes etc the shoreline would eventually erode to the point there would be no land remaining above sea level. Erosion is a fair amount of sea level rise.
Please do a story on the amounts of chemical called silver iodide, and potassium iodide in the Great Lakes... these are the chemicals used by the farming industry to make it rain.
give it a rest folks, the Great Lakes Region had high water levels because land management kept high levels for hydraulic Water Power production. did ya get that? As liberal governments did away with Coal Fired Power Generation. A huge transfer burden was placed on dependable power production still available. That in the Great Lakes Region means, keep lake levels up so that water levels can be there during peak summer weather time the flow to the turbines could be maintained, and keep Cottagers happy on wonderful beaches and rivers. But it ended up a wet winter and thousands and thousands of miles of snow pack with wet spring drove the Great Lakes Regions watershed higher and higher. Now most people don't know or understand that the St.Lawrence River flow rate is controlled as well. Why? Because there are flooding issues of the St. Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean. You will flood Quebec and the North Shore New Brunswick Regions. It also affects incoming Ocean traffic vessels. In other folks, Canada and the US screwed up trying to be GREEN PROGRESSIVE trying to maintain the energy market grid whilst taking out dependable Natural Gas, Oil Fired, and Coal Fired electrical production. They miscalculated outflow water and retained water for Hydro Dam energy potentials.
easily preventable. The house that fall in are people that did almost ZERO to prevent it. Many ways to stop it but if you do zero then yes it can happen.
i have a way thats a win win for everyone ,If we did like they duo when building man made islands take and you a dredging machine and some spray pumps that can push sand blow sand in front of the land like building a sand mound by doing this you will lower the water table by putting the land back where it belongs mix last round with fresh cement to harding it up to keep it from happening again put weight limit s on ships that will help keep it down but greed is what causes a lot of this basically if done right will change it and we can have room to add back up every 10 to 20 years way better watches homes be swallowed up are going over the edge in the middle of the night thats my idea take it for what its worth
Don’t build your home on sand.
double down and don't build directly on top of a fault line
Yes .. I kept noticing .. ?what? they build flat on sand? how does that work?
There is a big fault running through Chicago going up into the lakes that someday will cause problems.

"Vanishing Shorelines" .... Shorelines do not Vanish, they simply change, as they have done for more then 20,000 years.
I would venture to say that shorelines have been changing for more than 21,000 years. Maybe more.
I say a million years.
Well since every seems to have a say, I'll say it's always been happening from the beginning of time. That should cover it.

What can a little fresh water pond do to my waterfront home? It was always placid when we went there to look at the building site. The drone footage is really telling how feeble men's efforts against nature. The fact that the lakefront is just a sand dune tells you the dune has been migrating for eons.
Divert Great lake water to drought states like UTAH, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas through Gravity, Canals, Pipes and Tunnels.
Estimated cost would be around $20 Billion based on distance between UTAH and Great lakes. Cities and towns which are around Great lake can be saved and shortage of water can be reduced in drought states.
U want 2 drain off the GREAT LAKES 2 other states 2 save houses built on cliffs from erosion? I can't even begin 2 I just can't comment on yr ignorance.
honestly they should be pumping the water down south and West for "growing" we sure could use some of that water
Don't worry, help is on the way. Biden and AOC will fix it.
The Chinese are building entire military bases on sand. Just saying
I lived through Hurricane Michael now this pandemic.....ha ha ha at this crap
Is this also RELATED TO FRACKING & DISPLACEMENT?
Not along the Great Lakes shorelines. Melting glaciers and more torrential storms increase the water levels. Land erosion is a natural part of life on planet Earth. Native people built away from water and they knew you don’t pollute the water you need to survive.
Happens a lot on the east coast of the UK
Cottage????? LMFAO ok then I must live in a shanty shack on skid row !!!
There are two sides to every scenario; one home owner loses their home to foreclosure, another buys a home for 50 cents on the dollar. As usual, all focus is placed on the foreclosed home owner. Vanishing shorelines is the emphasis here and not a hint of any solution. The sky is falling. What can be done? you ask...put some one in charge who knows what to do then stay out of his (or her) way. You look silly standing there wearing a surgical mask with a finger in your ear.
This and the Mississippi flooding every year is why there needs to be a snow water reclamation program to funnel all that water where we need it not out to the ocean send it under the mountain come out about Boise and then we'd have water in Utah and Nevada and that's really needed right now
Shore lines have been eroding ever since there have been shorelines.
Without plate tectonics, uphevels, earthquakes, volcanoes etc the shoreline would eventually erode to the point there would be no land remaining above sea level. Erosion is a fair amount of sea level rise.
Please do a story on the amounts of chemical called silver iodide, and potassium iodide in the Great Lakes... these are the chemicals used by the farming industry to make it rain.
You must not know the water basin for the great lakes is mostly in Canada. That is not Ag area they would cloud seed.
Beachfronts should be for the general publics enjoyment and use not for private 'I've got mine' Shangri- La investments.
Do a story about how Wolverine World Wide is polluting our rivers and lake...
No sympathy at all for people that build houses on sand or worse yet, own a house they don't even LIVE in... (noone lives it).
Every time we have record high waters after erosion we find a sunken ship that was buried under dry ground
Cool!!!! I'm so fascinated by the great lakes! Hope to be able to see them in person some day.
Maybe The land is sinking? The water's not rising. Caused by man - fracking, drilling for oil and water and mining, etc.
That would be drilling, THEN fracking.
Also, women work on those fracking operations too.!
give it a rest folks, the Great Lakes Region had high water levels because land management kept high levels for hydraulic Water Power production.
did ya get that?
As liberal governments did away with Coal Fired Power Generation. A huge transfer burden was placed on dependable power production still available. That in the Great Lakes Region means, keep lake levels up so that water levels can be there during peak summer weather time the flow to the turbines could be maintained, and keep Cottagers happy on wonderful beaches and rivers.
But it ended up a wet winter and thousands and thousands of miles of snow pack with wet spring drove the Great Lakes Regions watershed higher and higher.
Now most people don't know or understand that the St.Lawrence River flow rate is controlled as well. Why? Because there are flooding issues of the St. Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean. You will flood Quebec and the North Shore New Brunswick Regions. It also affects incoming Ocean traffic vessels.
In other folks, Canada and the US screwed up trying to be GREEN PROGRESSIVE trying to maintain the energy market grid whilst taking out dependable Natural Gas, Oil Fired, and Coal Fired electrical production. They miscalculated outflow water and retained water for Hydro Dam energy potentials.
IJC International Joint Commission controls water level . They are too influenced or controlled by the bulk carriers .
This problem is Everyone’s problem! The tourism, jobs, boating, jobs, fishing.....we need to get rid of some water. A massive amount. Fast.
You cant build on clay.
Sell the water to the Colorado River authority. Arizona, California and Utah will pay for the water! Easy solution. Make money from your problems.
easily preventable. The house that fall in are people that did almost ZERO to prevent it. Many ways to stop it but if you do zero then yes it can happen.
i have a way thats a win win for everyone ,If we did like they duo when building man made islands take and you a dredging machine and some spray pumps that can push sand blow sand in front of the land like building a sand mound by doing this you will lower the water table by putting the land back where it belongs mix last round with fresh cement to harding it up to keep it from happening again put weight limit s on ships that will help keep it down but greed is what causes a lot of this basically if done right will change it and we can have room to add back up every 10 to 20 years way better watches homes be swallowed up are going over the edge in the middle of the night thats my idea take it for what its worth
17 year cycle. Look it up
If they get enough barges and put the buildings on them that could help
I went off the edge ones but I wasn’t built on sand🤔
Esteban We don’t need no stinking badges It is called erosion.
I think their is a child’s song . That Adults should learn from ! The foolish man that build his house upon the sand got washed away! 🤦♀️
