Have any of the lakes in your area recovered at all from the drought?
The Lakes along the Catawba River basin heve not recovered much so far. Both Lake Norman and Lake Wylie are well below normal. Lake Norman bottomed out at 93.1 (6.9 feet below full pond) and has only recovered to 93.2 Lake Wylie bottomed out at 92.8 but has only recovered to 93.6. These levels are still well below normal.
The rain we have recieved so far has not amounted to enough to make an impact. We are on track for this being the driest year on record in parts of the Carolinas ever since record keeping started in the late 1800's.:smt009
