[quote="Jay Taylor"]I spoke with Jerry Thorne the Dir. of Public works this morning as I too became worried seeing the lake level. He's doing everything possible to protect against the lake over flowing. Unfortunately, the ground is satured (even a slight drizzle and my basement gets water in it now) and the water upstream is also rising.[/quote]
