102	Severe flooding occurs, with widespread inundation of lake side properties, and closure of low lying roads.
101	Flooding becomes serious, and wave erosion on windward shores becomes a problem. If lake ice is present, structural damage can occur.
100	Water begins to enter some lake front properties. Water also begins to threaten low lying roads, piers, and docks. Wave action can compound flooding on windward facing shorelines.
99.5	Minor shoreline flooding will occur. Wind and wave action may compound the effects of flooding on windward facing shorelines.
