Lake Ferguson on the rise 06-20-08

RESIDENTS LIVING ON LOWER LAKE FERGUSON ROAD MAY HAVE A SLIGHT DETOUR TO GET HOME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. LARRY MILLER OF THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY SAYS IN ABOUT A WEEK, LAKE FERGUSON WILL CREST AT 45 FEET. THAT *IS* BELOW FLOOD STAGE BY THREE FEET, BUT IT'S HIGH ENOUGH TO CLOSE LOWER LAKE FERGUSON ROAD. MILLER SAYS THEY DO NOT EXPECT MAJOR FLOODING PROBLEMS AT THE LAKE. IF AN EMERGENCY DEVELOPS, MILLER SAYS THEY'LL MAKE ANNOUNCEMENTS IN THE MEDIA ON WHERE TO GO.
