Boy, am I thirsty!!

So, as most of you have heard, we here down in the South are in a big drought. But what most of you may not know, is how serious of a drought it really is. Our lakes are nearly empty, and we hear daily that the supply may be gone in less than three months. ( that is IF the Army Corp of Engineers continues to release the amounts of water they have been releasing from our dams.)
I took my camera and found some areas very close to me that were shocking to say the least.
This photo shows both the lake and the sign that shows the park closed sign due to low water. This park has a boat ramp that hasn't been used since early this summer. This photo shows how the levels of the water have changed. I could wade through this if I wanted to.
This pic was taken from the top of a boat ramp overlooking Lake Allatoona .


this view shows the dry lakebed. Sad, huh!


Fun in the summer sun? If you like hiking to the waters edge! Not to mention the dead fish stench in the air!



Long story short: Please help us by praying for rain! Even our Gov. Sonny Perdue has called for prayer causing trouble from all the athiests! Let's show them who is really in charge!
