We're getting beneficial amounts of rain and the lake has come up some, but we're still in need of weeks of this type of rain. We're currently down 13 feet with the worst this time being at 16 feet down from full pool. According to the USACE we've received 3.83" of rain this month which is close to normal. In 2008 the lake went down almost 26 feet and I hope to never see that again. It's a constant battle with the Army Corps who controls the Savannah River basin. We want a full body of water to enjoy and they want to generate electricity. Rummy In a message dated 1/16/2013 8:43:54 A.M.

Looks like most of it passing more north of both our locations, but I'm happy with what we've gotten so far and more on the way. - robSee the original archive post
