SN_Lover Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Duke Energy has a lake? I'd be scared of what's in that water. They comply with all environmental regulations and standards. They made Lake Norman. Without Lake Norman surrounding communities wouldn't have adequate drinking water and city and county tax revenues would be vastly lower than they are now.

sparklecity Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 96.8°/57°. Just took a look at radar and there are some storms moving through the mountains right now. Doubt they survive into the upstate, but maybe we can get lucky. PWATS are very low in the upstate right now, but dcape is pretty high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Mp#s is right, Brick. Without Lake Norman and Lake James and Lake Rhodhiss and Lake Hickory and Lake Lookout and Mountain Island Lake and Lake Wylie..., all on the Catawba River, millions of people would not have the necessary access to water to sustain the communities in western NC. Each of those lakes is dam controlled. So, thank you, Duke Energy. Another great thing they have done is provide low residential rates for electricity, compared to the horrific numbers coming out of the Columbia, SC, area (as we were made aware of on this board earlier this summer).

J.C. Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The high at CAE was F102 today, averaging F98 for the month, it was F100 at my house. I haven't had an real measurable rainfall since July 2nd. This is the hottest and dryest weather I've ever experience in my life in 4 years in South Carolina, 8 years in Atlanta, and 20 in northeastern Georgia. I know its been warm everywhere on the leeside, but Columbia is just unbearable. People around here who claim that its better than dealing with snow I guess forgot about the rest of the country that has little snow in the winter and much more bearable summertime temps.
