I remember the prediction but not the vitriole that followed. The key to remember is that we are in the middle of the most significant drought in 50 years. I know it is tempting to pile on the real estate agents and it is disappointing to not have water (or enough water) but droughts have always come and gone and always will. APCO and FERC would also be open to significant criticism if they didnt drop the lake level enough in the winter and there was flooding around the lake and downstream during a rainy year. If they could predict a 50-year drought they would rule the world but we can't and they can't. Heck, half the time the weatherman can't tell you what the weather is gonig to be 3 days from now. Hang in there everybody, the water will be back. Probably not this year but hopefully next. And if this is a long-term weather change hopefully they will reduce the winter lowering to 5 feet.
