Ok, I have only been watching what I see on the news but is the corps
still blowing water out the dams for no apparant reason (as they have
suggested in some reports)?

Yes, they are.

And as this lake gets smaller, and the

story and visuals get bigger, does it serve to help the Global taxing
crowd prove their points?

Jeez, talking about black helicopters! Do you think that liberals
somehow conjured up the drought to be able to prove that global
warming exists?
Who exactly is this "Global taxing crowd" you speak of?

No, and I probably said this wrong. What I really meant is from what I
know and have seen, (I have lived down there too) the corps never seem
to have any accountability, just do what they see fit, kinda' like the
FED. And I did not mean the corps had golbal taxing in mind but I am
wondering if the corps actions will give the GT crowd more ammo, and
if so if it would be a legit arguement...- Hide quoted text -

The Corp can do nothing except what is in some manual, etc. That is
why they are refusing to use any good sense in this issue. There is a
court ordered amount of water that they must release, and that is just
what they will do, unless we can stop them somehow, until the last
drop flows out. I'm wondering, because they are unable to use ANY
judgement of their own accord, what they'll do to keep water flowing
out of the dam after the lake has dried up!- Hide quoted text -

Ok, the guy (I saw on the news) was probably being somewhat sarcastic
but he said it was about saving some muscles and fish down river.
Sounds like some green group got a law passed at one point that could
really backfire, do I got this right?

There are several reasons for the corp being forced by law to release
a given amount of water. One is some fresh water mussel in FL. And no,
it wasn't some "green group". There are downstream generating plants,
downstream places that use the water for drinking, etc.

The pictures are incredible, I do feel for you guys. Any figures on
how many acres the lake has "lost" or ground gained as it were?

I've not seen any. Hell, the way the corp is still running water out
of it, it'd change daily! The last news I've heard (this morning) is
that the corp needs six weeks to review their release practices! Now,
we'll still have water, but what happens is that if we pump below the
"conservation level", that with what we take out of Lanier, it will
never catch up with normal weather. We'd need a good tropical storm or
three to help!

We've been geting tremendous amounts of rain here, all last night up
until about 4:30 pm today it's been a good soaker. and healthy chances
every day for the rest of the week.

i don't think it will help Lanier and Altoona much but I hope some
people down south get some benefit from it.

Chuck, this is up in your neck of the woods (no pun intended)

Rained an inch or so at my house last night, more (but very little)
coming today. Long range forcast is for a drier than normal winter,
because it's a la Nina year.
