The inevitable happened yesterday ... Lake Lanier sank below its record low. 

The lake hit 1,052.64 feet above sea level, beating the old record of 1,052.66 set in December 1981. That problem was solved by six months of monsoon-like rain during 1982 but its highly unlikely that we'll be so lucky this time. Currently the most optimistic predictions forsee the lake refilling in three year.  

Right now, Lanier is lost 58% of its water and 22% of the lake's surface water. Only one of the corps' 104 boat ramps is still usable.
