I see all the Georgia lakes are pretty much back to normal except Lake Lanier which has recovered dramatically but is still a bit low from normal. So is your drought officially over down there?

Not completely, we are in better shape than we were but in all honesty still need more rain to catch up. Right now the ground is wet but by the first of the week my yard will be dusty again. We also got too much all at one time, the folks in Florida really got it bad. Too much at one time really does nothing to cure the drought because in most areas most of it runs to the creeks and rivers and does not soak into the ground. You need rain that is slow that will soak into the ground to really help the drought, filling the lakes is good, that means the people that depend on them for their water will have water but the ground needs more.
+1 I've still have creeks that are still underground on my place here in the mountains. It has move up where they come out of the ground but not back like it should be.

Nowhere close. We need lots more government control over car washing and lawn watering to try and stem the public catastrophe of inevitable drought caused by the plague of man on the planet.

I'm not from the area and don't get it. But on that note in general, it always amazes me how the histericals claim man will ruin the earth, use up all the water and what not.
Man will ruin man, the earth will be just fine long after we're gone.
Use up all the water? What are you kidding me? The water is a relative constant, its geographic concentration is what moves around year over year.
So let's water the lawns, wash the boats, burn some fuel and have drink or two along the way. :thumbsup:

In some areas if you are caught washing your car or boat, watering your lawn you get a ticket with a fine attached.

Yep! In Metro counties they whined about the drought and asked us to use less water, so we did. So what did they do.......they came up short on their budgets and raised our rates cause the volume of water used went down!
So now that the drought is over, they have decided that because of the economy they will need to raise rates to support infrastructure. Oh, and they will not remove the water restrictions on outdoor watering.
What a bunch of Dumb A$$' we have in charge.

It's getting better. It can rain more, but only Monday-Friday. This weekend was very nice!
