Well of course it would have been Naturally w/o the dam the lake level would have been feet lower than is considered normal these days and the rise due to rain much less than what happened but I'm sure people would still be complaining about how "flooded" the lake is ... err ... would be. Then again w/o the dam the norm would be more frequent, large rises and drops in lake level so perhaps people would be used to such deviations.
