What happened to Lakes Superior and Huron?

1

Both of those Great Lakes have disappeared from Open Street Map and have been missing for at least 24 hours.

UPDATE: all, some or none of those two lakes are visible now at different zoom levels.

The relations that define the lakes were broken during the refresh of the zoomed out tiles, so the lakes didn't render. That refresh happens once a month or when a new version of the style is deployed.

The data has been fixed, the tiles just haven't been refreshed yet.

(tile update frequency per https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2018-August/081233.html )
