Lake Lanier Water Level

Lake Lanier Water Level-Massive amounts of rain from Sunday and overnight are causing serious flooding across several counties in northern Georgia, causing at least two fatalities.

The Army Corps of Engineers is monitoring water levels at Lake Lanier, which has risen four inches since Saturday. However, the direct risk of flooding from the lake seems minimal, because due to recent water shortages the Lake Lanier water level is still several feel below full pool.

An as-yet-unidentified woman was killed Monday morning when her car (which she was driving) was swept off the road and under water as she attempted to navigate a washed out section of the Lawrenceville Highway in Gwinnett County.

In Douglas County, a man’s body was found downstream from where his vehicle was swept into a flooded river.

Many schools and businesses are closed today in the Atlanta metro area, including in Gwinnett, Douglas, Carroll and Paulding counties.
