Since the official call to prayer for rain in Georgia, there has been some intermittent rain in the forecast. Although it reportedly hasn’t yet been enough to fill Lake Lanier to its full level, it could slow or temporarily halt the lake's decline.
"It just depends on the Fellow upstairs and what (rain) we get," said Becky Champion, assistant branch chief of the Coosa-Tallapoosa-Tennessee river basins for the EPD.
Gary McCullough, mayor of Dahlonega, said: "We're in good shape if the good Lord will let the rain come and fill everything back up."
State Rep. Amos Amerson was quoted as saying that they refer complainers to God.
