Author	Topic:   Lake Lanier Levels Rise with Heavy Rain
contender	posted 09-23-2009 03:16 PM ET (US)         South Florida is probably one of the few places that you have to wear sunglasses while [it is] raining cause the sun is out. Speaking of rain, I heard you guys up the Atlanta way got a couple of sprinkles. Did your lakes get filled back up?

Menemsha69	posted 09-23-2009 07:04 PM ET (US)             Contender-Lake Lanier has gained over 3 feet in the last 3-4 days. I live in Lawrenceville, one of the areas reported to have received 15-18 inches over the last week. My rain guage says we received 14.74 inches, 9 of which came down over the weekend. One morning this weekend between 5:15 and 6:30 am (I was getting ready for work) the rain guage steadily rose 2 inches. I spoke with Jerry (Nauti Tauk) who went for a ride in his Whaler yesterday. He said the lake had lots of debris, floating trees, etc... As far as damage goes, our home was unscathed, however lots of folks in the area have had some really bad flood damage, and a few have died. Definitely a mixed bag of "good and bad". -k

Nauti Tauk	posted 09-26-2009 04:06 PM ET (US)             1068.32 right now and it is raining very hard in the Cleveland mountains, about 15 miles from the lake. 1071.00 is full pool and I think we're gonna see it. Suppose to fish with Kevin on Monday so I hope it quits by then. Leaves have started to turn and it's getting a little cooler. Pretty but wet!
