Damn. My cousin lives on that lake. He said it damn near dried up back in 2007.

The lake was down but the media blew up the severity of what was going on. Killed a lot of businesses around the lake. Of course, the day it started to come back up, they all disappeared.

Lake Lanier has a average depth of 60 feet. It got down about 22-23 feet total

It was far from drying up. I had a blog on the ESPN website for 6 months during that time period. They called me asking me to run a weekly article about the drought and the lake conditions. It was more realistic that the local news. I applaud ESPN for letting me write the truth
