Ten people were sickened Wednesday morning by what appeared to be high levels of carbon monoxide in a houseboat on Lake Lanier. Nine of the 10 occupants were transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center. Two of those were transported as emergencies due to the levels of carbon monoxide in their systems, said Hall County Fire Chief David Kimbrell.
