Exclamation Lots of Debris!

I can confirm that there is a LOT of debris out there, including boards and entire sections of docks that have broken off or simply floated away. Many docks are completely submerged now, and any decking that isn't secured to a submerged seasonal dock is likely to get washed away and create a significant navigational hazard. High NW winds are currently forecast for Sunday night and Monday, which will (unfortunately) create large waves that will probably result in even more debris being washed into the lake.
