And down it goes

I stopped at the lake today. I sure do like taking photos of it and my rock.

PPL needs to do upkeep maintenance on the dam, so they had a controlled water release planned. Then the storms came through.

Before Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, lake capacity was at 63%. After the storms, it was over 90%. For the past week, they have opened up the spillway to release much of this water, to bring the level back to where it was before. Then they will continue to release water with the generators working, (the dam is a hydroelectric dam) to take it to the needed level for repairs.



Here is the debris line from Hurricane Irene/Tropical Storm Lee.










Here is my favorite rock, nearly all exposed. If you go to this post, you can see a photo where you can't see it at all.









The long expanse of exposed rocks.


I'll be taking more photos as the water continues to decrease. PPL plans to have the lake at the need level for repairs in two weeks.
