Lake Erie water levels drop significantly during powerful winds

   SANDUSKY, Ohio (WJW) – Video captured along Lake Erie on Monday showcases a dramatic shift in water levels near Sandusky as powerful wind gusts sweep through Northeast Ohio.
   As seen in the video, the levels are significantly low on some of the western edges of the lake in what the FOX 8 weather team describes as a seiche.
   “It’s like sloshing the water in your bathtub,” FXO 8 Meteorologist Scott Sabol previously explained. ‘The water will go from the west of the lake to the east part of the lake and will drastically change the height of the lake over a short period of time. The levels then return to normal after the winds die down.
