Yeah, I drive over a corner of Lanier on my way in to work every day. At least that's the theory: I haven't seen any water at all there in that corner for a week or two, and it's been low for a lot longer. I ought to take some pictures of my own.

Wow... small world. I did a double take since you are linking to Jim's Havoc page and yet I associate you with a different 'sphere' of friends :D

I saw his post through some random community that another of my friends, who is in Delaware I think, linked to in her journal this morning.

wow, wow. neat pictures, but damn, waters we have none.

I reported our association to the county this morning because our landscapers were watering the damn bushes out in front of our office suite when I got here this morning.

It's sad and scary and makes me feel sick to my stomach. At the same time, I can't help but wonder what will happen when the skeletons start showing through.

Me too!!!

The purposefully drain half of Alatoona (not the Lake Acworth side) every winter, though, so it's not necessarily an accurate picture of our water situation. ;)

Oh I didn't know that. Why do they do that?

[raving_liberal]

They divert it through the hydropower plant!

Neat!!
