In this Wednesday, Jan. 8, 505彩票平台app, photo, the dike protecting shoreline 505彩票平台apps is seen in Luna Pier, Mich. The small town is considering spending millions to replace dikes built nearly a half-century ago, a steep price for a village of only 1,500 residents. High water is wreaking havoc across the Great Lakes, which are bursting at the seams less than a decade after bottoming out. The sharp turnabout is fueled by the region's wettest period in more than a century that scientists say is likely connected to the warming climate. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)

When her father built the 1,000-square-foot, brick bungalow in the early 1950s, more than acre of land lay between it and the drop-off overlooking the water. But erosion has accelerated dramatically as the lake approaches its highest levels in recorded history, hurling powerful waves into the mostly clay bluff. (AP Photo/John Flesher)
