  1. In the recent past Chicago was threatening to sue the cities in SE Wisconsin for its water quality problems. The shore currents in Lake Michign circle counterclockwise. In reality the source of Chicagos water problem was the geese concregrating on Chicago's beaches.

  2. It had been a very dry summer with dry warm conditions lasting pretty much up to the time of the fires. In terms of loss of life the one in Pestigo was far worse than the Chicago fire. Thee fires also happened the same time the Earth passes through the debris that follows the same orbital path as Halley's Comet. There is some thought that the fires resulted from meteors that struck while still hot enough to cause fires. The fires in Wisconsin and Lower Michigan along with the Chicago fire all pretty much started at the same time.

  3. They did raise street levels. Then the buildings needed to be jacked up to match the new street level.

  4.  @jantschierschky3461  Just about every major city has seen wide spread fires in the past.
