Illinois
- Current Level to 150 feet
Being
far enough away from the Atlantic Ocean, Illinois is much less susceptible
to tidal surges or massive flooding. If there was a slow sea level rise
that made its way up the Ohio River, Illinois would start to be affected
at about 280 feet of sea level rise. If Canada experiences a tidal surge
large enough from the Atlantic or again, if there was a slow sea level
rise, the Great Lakes would be severely impacting the state around the
700 foot mark.
