I knew when I read the story that it was false but since I have two weeks vacation planned for Oct 3-17 the story did get me worried that there may not be much water left. I called the CORP office and got the story straight. Everything is right on schedule. On Sept 15 they predict the lake level to be 552 summer pool. Every year between Sept 15 and Oct 15 they draw 2 feet and then after Oct 15 they open the main gates and start the winter draw down. It takes several weeks to get to winter pool 525. Rain fall will determine how soon they hit winter pool but traditionally it is well into Dec and sometimes Jan.
