The level of Lake Lanier has risen from 1,063.50 feet above sea level at midnight on July 10 to 1,063.62 feet at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday. While that sounds like a steady upward trend, a closer look shows it’s been anything but. More than half of that increase occurred between July 10 and 11, according to the website of the U.S. Geological Survey.
