It's a pretty common occurrence - notable ones happen 4-6 times each fall/winter. This one with a 13.7 foot elevation difference across the lake was higher in magnitude than is common (8-11 foot elevations differences happen a couple times each winter). Levels came up to LWD +7.9 ft in Buffalo and dropped to LWD -5.8 ft in Toledo.
Because Lake Erie water levels have dropped back to normal from the decade of high water between 2015-2024, the visual impact at Toledo was more impressive as the lake receded. On the Buffalo end, the water rise wasn't as dramatic as we saw during the record high water levels of 2019-2020. A storm on Halloween recorded an elevation of LWD +10.7. Below are a couple photos from that event - one on Oct 31st and the 2nd the next day. During the storm, the pier was fully underwater and wave spray was nearly reaching the deck of the Peace Bridge just to the south. This is at the outlet of Lake Erie into the Niagara River - so the water to the right is on its way to Niagara Falls.
Technically speaking the difference in water levels is a storm setup and the seiche is the response when the winds stop and the water sloshes back and forth between Buffalo and Toledo. The oscillation usually goes on for a couple of days.
Lake Erie has larger storm setups and subsequent seiche responses due to its orientation relatively in line with the prevailing wind direction and shallower water. The other lakes will see some changes in water level, but not nearly as substantial.
