Lake Allatoona The Drought is Critical!

From the photo's it does not look as if that lake was very deep in the first place. But still scary none the less.

We've had drought issues down here for years.  We're still under water restrictions and it looks like it's going to get worse for us this year.  Hope we all get some rain!

Jim,

I'll make you a deal...you keep that snow down there and I'll try to send you a little Pennsylvania rain!!! :) Thanks,   Fran

I feel your nervousness. Here in So Cal we are in a drought as well. I am hoping the situation gets better this winter or next year our fire season will be worse!

It appears that all folks in Georgia can do is hope for lots of snow and a good slow spring melt. 

Jim didn't the lake fill up earlier this year?  Is there too many people in the area for the lake to provide for now?

That is scary. I toured our California state water system earlier this year and our primary feed dam in Northern California - the Orroville Dam, is down 120' There is still a lot of water there but there is an extra 120' of bare shoreline all around the lake. Similarly in Arizona, Lake Powell has shrunk and photographers are having a field day with delicate arches and Indian petroglyphs that have been underwater for decades. I always tell my friends that live in the mountains in Colorado to flush twice - California needs the water.

Jim maybe you guys will get a blizzard this year.  Supposed to be a colder Winter than normal.

Jim,

Our Lake Delton is filling up here again, but with more snow than last year expected, spring flooding is alread  a topic at the cafe.

Hi Jim,

We were in Suwanee visiting our daugther and her family in October.  Lake Lanier is really low too.  Maybe you will have a wet winter.....we should all be praying for moisture in whatever form we can get it.  We had lots of snow last year but not much yet.  Actually supposed to be snowing by morning...
