9/16/24 - Despite expecting 3" of rainfall from Francine, she passed to our west, resulting in only ~0.5" above Lake Lanier. While this was good news for the outdoor Meghan Trainor concert I attended with my kids, it was bad news for our water supply. As shown in the graphic, Lake Lanier, Metro ATL's primary water source, didn't even see a blip in water levels. - La Niña Predictions: NOAA now forecasts a 71% chance of La Niña emerging by November, and it’s expected to persist through at least the first quarter of 2025. Typically, La Niña means warmer and drier conditions in Georgia, especially in southern Georgia. - Hurricane Season Outlook: A couple of months ago, NOAA predicted an 85% chance of an above-normal hurricane season. If a tropical storm passes through metro Atlanta or north Georgia later this fall, our reservoirs could get a significant boost, reducing the risk of a water supply drought. So, what does all this mean? We need to be water conservation-minded now in case our lakes don't refill as we head into La Niña. So, remember: - If you water your lawn, do so only after 4 p.m. and before 10 a.m. (it’s the law in Georgia) - Water responsibly - use only what's needed - Stay hydrated yourself with your local tap water And - follow Georgia's drought status here: https://lnkd.in/eTSiP_35

Georgia friends, see this important drought planning info & follow Katherine Zitsch, PE, BCEE for water status updates. Less rain + La Niña inbound = lower water supply. Might as well learn to live in balance with our area’s water rhythms…I suspect we don’t have a choice! #water #waterlaw #georgia #sustainablecre

🌀Storm Preparedness Tips for Hurricane Season🌀   Xylem Tree Care is offering preparation services to help secure your trees before any potential tropical systems arrive. While in some cases, declining or hazardous trees may need to be removed, other situations simply call for proper pruning of mature trees. Cleaning the crown or hazard pruning is often the first approach in preparing for hurricane season. This will actually help strengthen the tree. Following the hazard pruning, Xylem will reduce the weight at the end of the branches to minimize the risk of breakage. Within a tree’s crown, thinning methods allow wind to flow through the canopy, rather than pushing on it. Proper thinning to improve air movement within the crown also increases light penetration. To prepare your trees for hurricane season, call 833-544-8733 or visit XylemTreeCare.com and let our certified arborists help with a pre-storm inspection, to secure your trees before severe weather arrives.
