Exclamation GLOC lake elev to drop

Received a letter today from the GRDA, they are going to drop the lake level 2.5 feet in jan. 06, down to 738.o, that will be the lowest level in many many years, has something to do with putting water into Lake Hudson, and then putting that water into some resivor they have had drained to do maintence, all under the direction of the FERC, if you have a dock you better get to checking cables, hoists, catwalks etc., GRDA is also allowing moving docks out to deeper water, of course this does require a permit, guys we need RAIN!!GLOC could look like Eufula by spring!!

GLOC is 4.5 ft. b elow normal elev. now, that is low for this lake! another 2.5ft will be as low as it has been in a long time, our area in Okla. is 15 in. below in rainfall for the year ending 2005.

Update:

Kevin Easley is in D.C. this week trying to work with F.E.R.C so we don't have to drop the extra amount.
