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?

Looks like it is getting tough on the Great Lakes, too....

Well, I am not going to let them come down to Lake Lanier and use our
water, that is for sure. - Hide quoted text -

Now THAT'S funny! News report this morning says that the Corp will
take 6 weeks to review the release of water from Lanier! WTF? They
know damned well how much water they release, and how to fix the
problems.

I just barely caught a piece of the news (enough to be dangerous) that
the Alabama Gov. is hacked off at the Geo. Gov, about not getting
enough water to cool a nuclear power plant? and is wanting more?

or something like that.- Hide quoted text -

I don't know about a nuke plant, but he is certainly whining! The
trouble is, he is doing nothing BUT whining. Our Gov. is taking steps
to conserve, even limiting use by "high demand" entities by 10%. But
in Alabama, they aren't taking ANY precautions, and have absolutely no
conservation regulations. You can wash your car every hour if you want
with the water that the Army Corp of Engineers is releasing from
Lanier if you live in Alabama! How's that for irony?
