Lake level trivia

In the one week period between March 27 and April 3, 2009, Lake Hartwell gained just a tick under two feet of elevation. Trivia question: What is the highest elevation change in any one week period? In February of 1966, the lake gained 5.7 feet of elevation in one week. In recent history, there was a five foot gain in one week in September of 2004.
