Rain is sweeping much of the state this morning--from extreme north Georgia, extending to Athens, Macon, Columbus and down to Albany. A weekend soaking for much of the state has brought continued needed relief for Georgia’s reservoirs, such as Lake Lanier. The north Georgia reservoir was up to a little more than 1,058 feet as of 6pm last night. It's Lanier’s highest level since October of 2007.
