I noticed that the water at Lake Lanier had risen enough so the boat
ramps were actually open again. *I was curious as to the actually water
level, and the lake is now above the previous low water levels. *Since
the multi religious and non religious prayers for rain seemed to have
worked, would everyone now pray for a few tropical depression to stall
over the North Ga mountains.

It was up almost six feet before this latest round of rain. It'll take
a few days to see where we're at now, but it's certainly getting
better!


I had no idea what a small area of North Georgia Watershed drains into
Lake Lanier. *It looks like less than 5% of the North GA area actually
drains into Lake Lanier. *Most of North Georgia Mountains watershed goes
to Alabama or the Savannah River.


Yeah, it's amazing. What is interesting is the amount of water that
that small area generates.
