Eastern Lake is open!!!

And it's open again today.

I just walked down to the beach to see the sunset and saw the lake flowing. It's been close for several days now. It looks like it has only been open a few hours - the sand is still wet on the former lake bottom.

The level of the lake has already dropped about 6-8" there at the outlet.

Sorry, no pics. Maybe tomorrow AM.

Here's a shot from this morning. It looks like the lake has dropped a foot or more since it opened.

AWESOME! I may head over to look!

I looked yesterday AM and it wasn't open, but was it ever close. Last night, the surf was really loud. Looks like some strong waves did the trick.

It's open now and looks like it has been for quite some time. The lake level is down about a foot in the outfall. Sorry no pix, it was just at sunset when I got there.

Yeah again, saw some folks out there tonight setting off fireworks. Quite the show.
