Its not as silly as you might think. Levels in Lake Huron-Michigan recently reached an all time high (I believe last year). Some towns in Indiana were expecting to be completely wiped out. Of course, this is not due to melting glaciers but due to changing weather patterns. For a region like ours though, its a similar problem. Water levels here also could move a lot faster than sea levels, however its not as steady or certain of a rise. Ultimately there is also already a geoengineering megaproject which has been built and is capable of flushing the lake into the Gulf of Mexico: the Chicago "river" (more of a canal at this point as its flow has been reversed).
