Drought in Marietta

We are wondering about the drought situation in

Marietta. Is it really bad as you read in the

paper regarding Atlanta and the surrounding area%26#39;s.

Thank You

Drought in Marietta

The state climatologist recently officially declared Georgia%26#39;s drought as being over, though not all weather and water-resource experts agree. Most of the area lakes are close to, at, or slightly over full pool; Lake Allatoona, the nearest to Marietta of Georgia%26#39;s major lakes, is slightly over at the moment, while Lake Lanier, a much larger lake that is the water source for most of the metro Atlanta region, is still about 8 feet below full pool (though that%26#39;s a dramatic improvement even since the first of the year).

Most experts would probably say that whether we%26#39;re ';officially'; still in drought right now or not, we remain close to the edge -- even a fairly short period of below-average rainfall would probably have us back there.
