Drought Strikes Most of Pennsylvania with Severe Water Shortage
Pennsylvania faces one of the worst droughts in years east of the Alleghenies. In many areas no rain for over two months has dried rivers, halted industries, and forced coal mines to close for lack of water. Water sells for eight cents a gallon as residents trek long distances for supplies. Forest fires flare in several sections, while the Busquehanne and Schuylkill rivers run alarmingly low. Three lumber camps burn in Somerset county and fears rise of more losses.
