Anyone having flashbacks to the heady days of 2009? Back when in some places you could walk straight across Lake Lanier? Via the Associated Press:
Data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers shows the North Georgia reservoir stood at 1,066.87 feet above sea level on Sunday. Summer full pool is 1,071 feet above sea level. Georgia Power reports the lake at 1,066.81 feet early Monday.
The last time the lake was reported at a lower elevation was Sept. 20, 2009, when the level was 1,065.55 feet.
Feel free to regale us with tips on how to save water (i.e. take showers with all of your plants more than usual). Or whatever you like.
