Brings up an interesting philosophical question. Is the shoreline erosion really "damage" or just change? Lets face it, the shoreline is constantly eroding and always will be. Even with no boat traffic at all, I bet this naturally occuring flood would cause more erosion than all the boat traffic of the last few years during "full lake" and lower periods.
