Default Lake Lanier drying up?

On Mon, 15 Oct 2007 09:14:20 -0400, HK penned the following well
considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

|CNN had a feature on Lake Lanier this morning. Apparently water levels
|are way, way down, and if there isn't some serious protracted rain soon,
|a goodly portion of Georgia will be facing drought.
|
|Meanwhile, the video showed the shorelines of the lake line with dead
|shellfish and fish, left behind as the water receded.
|
|What's the impact on boating?

Not just Lake Lanier! While some areas of the US are flooding,
throughout the southeast there are boats high and dry and grass
growing where there should be water.

Looks pretty bad:
