Yours Truly is being Interviewed by The Weather Channel Thanks in Part to Active Rain!

I am very excited! The Weather Channel www.weather.com just called, saw my website and they want to interview me on camera all about our Lake Lanier Drought and its affect on Lake Home Values.

How cool is that? They searched Lake Lanier Appraiser and up I came. This is thanks to my website, Active Rain blog page and other sites where I have promoted my business so that I come up on the entire first page of Google for Lake Lanier Appraiser Searches.

The show will air Tuesay Night 10/7/08 at 7:00 & 8:00, 10:00 and 11:00 PM Eastern Standard time on the Weather Channel.

Just thought I would share this exciting news with my Active Rain Family. Have a great week.

Good for you! I saw just how low the Lake levels are over the weekend. Pretty scary.

The Lake Lanier story is so sad.

I spent a week fishing that lake some years ago and appreciate the beauty of the body of water. I was shocked to realize that a deep water lake such as Lake Lanier could almost run out of water.

Thanks for all your comments. Now I do want to dispel some ideas, especially for those who do not live in this area. When people listen to the news about Lake Lanier, they think we are just about out of water in this Lake...This is FAR from the truth. We have areas that are over 100 feet deep on this lake and it encompasses over 600 miles of shoreline. But the media like to scare people as you well know.

Where it is the worst is in the coves as you can imagine, many people no longer have lakefront homes. But again, in researching the Corps of Engineers site where it shows the water levels all the way back in time, even into the early 1980's when this lake was very low like it is now and NEVER has there been a time when the lake has not come back to FULL summer pool.

Sometimes it takes a few seasons and with this drought it may take a few more, but it has always come back....to full pool.

So for those who want to come and visit this beautiful Blue Water lake, there is plenty of water to fish, boat, etc. you just have to BE careful and do not even think about navigating at night.

Thanks for letting me clear this up on the water here.
