Personally, I'm not worried about Atlanta. In some ways this drought is a good thing--at least people are becoming aware of taking better care of their resources. Every yard being planted with native plants instead of grass, is a step in the right direction. So is every water conserving toilet being installed, etc.
Things will be exciting for a little while more... and then the rains will return. A strong hurricane season is all it will take to fill the lakes back up and then some. But my hat is off to the politicians who will play this for all it's worth. I only wish GA had a few stronger officials who could really make some changes.

What do y'all hear?
