Hello folks - Western Lake is flowing rapidly into the Gulf. The lake level has dropped a good foot since last night. I'm curious if it openned naturally or if the Corps of Engineers or a neighbor with a shovel dug it open. Anyone know?

Don't know but I'd love to see a picture 
The corps won't touch it.
Usually when it gets fat for awhile someone will get it started. But after a big rain and/or high surf nature does it's thing and all the critters are happy about it.

I'd heard that because the park is on Septic tanks that when the lake got real high the corps openned it up to keep the septic tanks from flooding out. I've only been a full time resident for 6 months, so am still learning the lay of the land (and water).

That has got to an "urban legend". Western Lake has been opening and closing for all of my six decades of life, sometimes with a little help from man and often by Mother Nature. It does look much like the picture attached to one of 'noogas' posts.

LMAO! Ok, here is how to post a photo. Now I am a computer tard so lets hope I don't make this harder than is really is.
1. Your pics have to be posted / hosted somewhere on the web already. I've heard that Yahoo has a pic hosting section. Have you done this?
