The Lord has been very good to us. Some might remember that I was quite critical of the management of the Lake by Alabama Power. Well they deserve a big round of thanks for managing the impoundment this winter and spring. They brought the lake level up even when we had no rain for long periods of time. This is just a guess but I do believe that the action Gov. Riley took with the Corps stated the whole shebang. He showed tha the Corps was not omnipotent and could be defied, which is what Al Power did concering the releases from Martin Dam. This action combined with the approval sought and obtained by Alabama Power to amend the rules, and the rains provided by God have us to 486", a level that seemed impossible just a few weeks ago.

Now, we do not need too much rain. If the floodgates have to be opened and downstream damage occurs, we can forget a permanent change in the rules in 2013.

Just my 2 cents.
