That photo has me thinking of the lakes near where I live that no longer exist. We had a major flood a while ago and the dams broke and the lakes are just a river now. They are working on the dams, but it is going to be a bit before the lakes come back.
That sucks man, that happened sort-of to one of the places near here. It was a nice pond that had a dam but the dam broke and they had to drain the pond. The pond was dry for like 4 years maybe 5 before they finished the dam and filled it back up. Pretty crazy to think about!
This is actually a chain of four lakes that have all lost their water. It was a massive flood. Something like a once in every 300 year rain or something like that. People who own property on the lakes are beside themselves. It has been a horrible saga for the area.
