September 1, 2008 6:00PM EDT: Water level still rising in Lake Jesup. Following are recent photographs of the Lake Jesup Water Level (as of September 1, 2008 6:00PM EDT). It has passed the place where I took photographs on August 27.
August 30, 2008 8:00AM EDT: Water level in Lake Jesup, few photos taken from toll road 417. You can see house near the lake are having water in their front/back yard.
August 27, 2008 6:00PM EDT: Someone informed about the water lever rise in the lake after the Topical Storm FAY so I thought to go and check. Yes the water level has risen a lot and Lake Jesup has flooded past the parking lot about 20 ft from the normal day water level spot. 100 and 500 year flood-plain does not have Lake Jesup Woods and other near by communities in it.
Following are some photographs of the Lake Jesup Water Level (as of August 27, 2008 6:00PM EDT).
