One interesting point made is that it took 3 years, 1956 to 1959, to
reach full pool... even w/o modern demands. Lanier is in trouble.

If they had a year of normal rain, the lake could be back to full

So.... did Atlanta/Lake Lanier get drenched last night? The radar I
was watching just showed state lines and it was hard to tell. Looked
like the rain storms may have past to the south of them. But I haven't
heard word one from anybody who actually lives there. If that storm
missed them, they really missed a deluge (we got drenched here on the
Gulf Coast and then sent it on up their way).

Well in Suwanee (just north of Atlanta/Closer to Lanier) we got very
little. One report said we got as much as a half inch somtime after
midnight. But my car was dry by 8:30 so it was not here. When I was
hitting my snooze button the talking heads on the radio said it was
harder above (north) and below (south) of the city. I hope that is true.
But either way I think all it did was add alittle green to the grass.
