OK, we live in NW GA on Lake Lanier.
The drought is not really 6 months in. It rained pretty normally until mid-July, then nearly nothing.
Lake Lanier is down 8 feet. That’s a lot, but not as bad as the 21 feet a decade+ ago.
We NEED good rains to start.
I lived in Alpharetta in 1999 and there was a big drought then, too. I remember Lanier was almost completely empty. Did the area recover after that drought?
We live In Douglasville, Wife works Downtown. She said it would rain nearly every afternoon there. Here NEVER... it was always to the N or E of us...
The same here in NW Florida.
