One of Hurricane Irene‘s unfortunate structural victims this weekend was the 141-year-old Bartonsville Covered Bridge in Bartonsville, Vermont.
A weatherman from D.C. named Tucker Barnes did his report on Hurricane Irene from the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland, and he was covered in a mysterious brown foam. Now, here's where it gets nasty: Barnes said it was, quote, "organic material," and thought it might be plankton, mixed with sand and salt. But in reality, it was more likely sand and salt mixed with RAW SEWAGE!
According to Discovery, this is the third worst drought on record for Texas. In fact, Big Spring Texas has had less than 0.1 inches of rain in the last couple of months.
In order to keep the town water supply from going dry, Big Spring will be… uh… Recycling their sewage water.
Is it a sign that the end is near? A lake here in Texas turns blood red.
Searing temperatures and a drought rivaling Texas' worst on record are taking a toll on lake levels statewide. A June water report found levels in 109 lakes dropped by 4 percent, or more than 358 billion gallons. Three lakes - all in West Texas - are effectively empty.
