Nothing to see here.

From CBS Sacramento:

FOLSOM LAKE (CBS13) — A Northern California reservoir ran dry overnight, killing thousands of fish and leaving residents looking for answers.

While a $3.5 million drought safety net at Folsom Lake finishes, a lake in another part of the state is left high and dry.

Thousands of fish lay dead in what used to be Mountain Meadows reservoir also known as Walker Lake, a popular fishing hole just west of Susanville.

“Everywhere that you see that’s wet, there was water,” said resident Eddie Bauer.

Residents say people were fishing on the lake last Saturday, but it drained like a bathtub overnight. Bauer has lived near this lake his entire life. This is the first time he’s ever seen it run dry. He and other residents want answers.

No matter who’s to blame, residents here worry, this could happen in other areas of the state.

At times like these, there’s only one man to call…

  2. Suddenly “overnight”??? Not a chance is just happened. Someone will investigate who bled it dry for some corporation’s profit. Nestle again?
