High Wind - High Water
Winds have been high today and along with the high lake level are causing considerable damage along the shore. Our shore wall is in danger of collapsing as the water (which is usually 5 to 6 feet away from the wall) is splashing over the wall and the walkway to the dock thas been eroded underneath by the constant wave action causing the flagstone to cave in.
The water level is up to dock height next door, ours about 4 inches below dock boards.
When or if there is a drawn down it will help the hundreds of residents along the shoreline and islands. Many residents have put barrels filled with water on top of their docks to hold them down.
There has to be some way to control the level to help control the damage or maybe they can lower our taxes to compensate for dollars lost - the same way they are raised for the view.
