LUDINGTON, Mich. - The Great Lakes are at a record high this year.
A number of lakeshore communities see the impact of rising water levels every day, with waves spilling over docks and piers.
State officials recently warned residents, boaters, anglers and beachgoers to exercise an abundance of caution on the water this year -- especially in areas were there are electrical connections covered by water. Crews say electric shock drowning is a serious hazard all too high this year.
