You're welcome. It is interesting that the watershed for Lake Lanier is only around 1,040 square miles or about 1/3rd the size of Martin. Its one reason Lanier is so volatile (other than the amount of water removed to feed the Atlanta metro area). Martin is 44,000 acres in size and Lanier is 38,000 acres in size. Given the size of our watershed all it will take is a little rain to fill her up!
