On or about April 7th 2005 Lexington Reservoir overflowed. It seldom does that so
it's notable when there's water in the spillway. This probably isn't big news to most of
you but for those of us who drive by it every day on our way to work, it's significant.
I know that there are way too many pictures of this here however Lexington hardly ever
is allowed to overflow. So bear with me. In the future, I will post pictures of it at low water
for comparison.
