Chicken Little is actually a DNR agent. He makes these posts inbetween misreading the guages and performing safety stops to steal 30 minutes from a boaters. So treat him accordingly and understand he cant help it. Its his job to be nonsensical and bored.

“Who is “they” and why did “want” us to believe the drought was more severe than it was?”

Conservator,

The “they” are the climatologists, the press and the state and local politicians. They all love a crisis to give them their raison d’être.

That group “wants’ us to believe that they understand the forces at work and have the ability to solve the problem. That is why it is in their interest to play up the drought as far more serious than it actually was.

Periods of wet and dry have always been with us and always will. Only a few inches of excess monthly rainfall in winter and spring and what do you know, the drought is over.

Guess what, the pattern will never stop.

Bert

Of course, the lonely infant saw a post as a chance to pretend he has friends.

Its not the city of Atlanta. Its DNR. How come no one has mentioned them?!?! Common people, theyre the ones that let the water out of the lake because they cant install a guage correctly. Theyre the ones that let 4 inches of what out when we get 6 inches of rain. Theyre a government run operation that has our lake by the balls.

We got alot more rain than usual this spring, but that STILL wasnt enough for DNR to raise the lake. Lake Lanier has been around for 50 somthing years all the sudden 1071 seems impossible to reach. I cant believe more heat hasnt fallen on these idiots.

“It is amazing that such a “severe’ disaster as the drought of the past two years was easily erased with a wetter than normal late Winter and Spring. It really wasn’t as bad as they wanted us to believe.

Bert”

SEE For some reason the Media wont just say that theres a legal war between florida alabama and georgia. They just say that theres a drought. Also why does DNR supply the chattahoochee with more water than would naturally flow down it. If the Lake was non existant, that 6 Inches upstream would equate to 6 inches downstream. But how come 6 inches in the lake equals 6 or 8 inches let out of the dam to go downstream? Now this spring they have cut that out a bit becuase otherwise atlanta citizens would start to put together that rain doesnt always equal more inches in the lake and someone has their hand on the controls(of the dam), and its not the people.

*look at that graph on the top, you would think that during Jan 3-17 we had a hurricane. Nope, someone just decided it was time to fill the lake up.
