Water Levels Very High. 2-4-2016

The water level is extremely high today. It has been at a much more normal level all week, but after the heavy rain yesterday (nearly 2 inches) and showers today, I have been watching it go higher all day. It has been very overcast and gray all day. So dark, you would have thought it was night. I ran outside this evening to take photos of the docks in the neighborhood. I had to edit them all so you could see, it was so dark!  Sorry Hendricks! I can't see your dock from here.

Here they are: 

THE BIG STORM

The snow has begun to fall as I write this today. I will update and publish conditions throughout the day as I can.

HIGH WATER LEVELS

The Lake has been extremely high this fall and is at the top of or is flooding most riprap and docks around the cove. Here are some photos I took of various properties. We received an email from the Lake Gaston Association encouraging us to express our displeasure with the Army Corps of Engineers and their revised plans for lake levels here on our lake. We encourage you to write and send photos to encourage them to maintain the current plan and avoid the damage and flooding that comes with higher water levels. This is the address and email address of the Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Eric Gasch (email: eric.k.gasch@usace.army.mil )U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District69 Darlington Avenue Wilmington, NC 28403 Email me if you would like a copy of the letter from the LGA and/or the sample letter to write in protest of the changes.

I created this blog as a way to share news and photos with the neighbors and friends who have lake homes in th cove. I will try to post things I think will be of interest, updates to the Hydrilla Spray Group, updates and photos of the water level and anything else I think might be of interest. If you have items to share, please email me and I will put the item on the blog for you. Nancy (nkelleyc@yahoo.com)
