Looks like you guys will be at full pool by the end of the day.

But two issues ahead:

- Gustav is heading our way
- The Alabama River is beginning to overflow its banks downstream.

So where is all this water going to go if Gustav brings significant rain to AL.

So be careful what you ask for LOL. Not that any of us are complaining about the current levels compared to last several years, but this could also have a boomerang effect as well.

As back in the late 70's and then again in the 90's I have seen Logan Martin overflow its banks several times and flood house that were 40 feet up on a rather significant upward slope. I would have to say 8 to 10 feet or so above its normal full pool, if not more.
