With the lake continuing to rise slowly, and now at 7 inches above full, any waves will pull additional debris into the lake. The lake is now 12 inches below the 1984 flood level. That means 1-foot waves, which are common in windy weather, will reach that record high water mark. As most of us know, waves do get much bigger on the lake. The stronger the wind gets, the bigger the waves get, and the more debris will enter the water.
Items that were stored on the shoreline in the late fall may become afloat or submerged if they haven't already. For anyone leaving a camp for the winter, it would have been unreasonable to expect that the lake would come up this high, this early.
