RE: [omc-boats] Old Hickory Lake in TN

Oops!

Right after I hit "Send" I thought "was that the right Lee . . ?"

Anyway, glad to here you faired well. My colleague in Quebec City told me
they got heavy downpours and some strong winds too.

I'm sure there will be endless discussions about the future of New Orleans
once the immediate human tragedy is under control. The thought of the
total effect is just mind boggling to me right now.

Actually, it's Lee Hazen that lives on Old Hickory Lake. Things are fine
here,
we got a lot of rain and wind, but minor damage - limbs down, occasional
tree down. No damage here at my place. I left the pontoon boat down
by the dock and no damage there either. Just finished cutting the yard and
boy did it need it ! All that rain really was good for the yard.

I don't think the level of the lake raised more than a foot above normal.
 No
flooding along the shoreline this time. Didn't lose power either.

I consider myself very fortunate to live in such a safe place. We only
have
two things to fear here - tornado's and ice storms (and tourists).

I hope they fix New Orleans and fill in the lowland. Plenty of dirt out in
the Mississippi Delta that could be used to fill the "bowl". Otherwise,
I fear this will happen again - and again.

Lee Hazen - Hendersonville, TN

I still have the Johnson "Surfer" available with the original trailer.
 Best
offer
gets it.
