Lake Lanier to Drop 2 Feet During June

North Georgia is suffering through a once-in-50 years drought and over the weekend Michael Lapina, a spokesman for Lake Lanier, said that water levels in Lake Lanier are likely to fall further during the next month.  
   
Currently Lake Lanier is 4 feet below its full pool level of 1,071 feet and is expected to fall nearly 2 more feet by the end of June. Lake Lanier's situation is pretty typical. Of Georgia’s 159 counties, 95 are in extreme drought, State Climatologist David Stooksbury said, with 49 others in severe, 12 in moderate and three in mild.
