I just checked, and we've indeed had higher than normal rainfall this spring -- 6 inches above average, over 18 inches total.
To bring it into perspective, I was riding the bus up Lake Shore Drive this afternoon and notice that:
The lakefront just north of where the bus leaves Michigan Avenue and enters the Drive is paved and slopes down to the water, which is normally, say, eight to twelve inches below the paving. About a foot at the edge of the paving is under water.
The two most northerly sections of Fullerton Beach are completely submerged.
The doggie beach in Belmont Harbor, which normally extends about fifteen or twenty feet into the water, is almost complete gone.
It's obviously a Chinese hoax.
