A meteotsunami struck two Michigan beaches on June 25, causing water levels to rise by as much as 2 feet. This storm-driven phenomenon, generated by air-pressure disturbances, resulted in widespread flooding across the Midwest, including Lake Michigan. Meteotsunamis are storm-generated wave events that can quickly flood Great Lakes shorelines, with roughly 100 occurring each year. An NOAA buoy on Lake Michigan near Muskegon recorded meteotsunami waves that peaked at 6:24 a.m. The event occurred during severe weather that blasted the region.
