Hurricane Irene!
I'm glad I pulled the boat & skis out. The water levels on the lake rose over the concrete retainer wall, over the grass landing and on up the stairs that lead to the upper deck. The water rose so much that it crested over the ladder on the concrete wall. The dock mounts to the wall with rods & pins. Most of the dock ramp is under water. I have never seen the water this high. This is a Dam controlled lake. The run off looks like raging rapids washing out the roads and ditches.
Over 9" of rain so far in that area. I hate to see the other lake house which has no water level control/no outlet.. :O Ughhh That dock will be down lake some place. Busy day tomorrow.

Tomorrow they are predicting 2-5" of rain up here! Just what we need.. 
Flood watches have been issued.
My house was spared.. It went right through Amsterdam, Glenville, Schaghticoke on into VT. It missed my house by only a couple miles. Glenville is just alittle northwest of me.
"knock on wood" Man I have been lucky. We were in the Theater and could hear the heavy rain during the movie. The clouds & lightening were very ominous as we walked into the mall. Pitch black storm clouds with very intense lightening and thunder.
