Uncovered ghost towns

I don't know if I can say Texas is suffering form the droughts not occurred in fifty years.I open the link that you provided,in one picture I see a child's grave site which has been at least 20 to 30 feet underwater before. I can well imagine how far the drought went.What has gone wrong with the climate?

Yeah, FLEAS! We haven't had an issue with fleas since moving here 4 1/2 years ago, until.... I guess the weather this year has been absolutely perfect for the pesky, biting insects. My poor dogs have had 3 flea baths in the past week and run for cover whenever I go into the bathroom now. We've had to use flea powder made for carpets and a spray for the furniture, although I really haven't noticed a single flea that wasn't on my poor animals. Each time they'd get a bath, the fleas were back on them within a few hours. I just can't understand why I haven't been bitten by a single flea, especially when my dogs sleep plastered up against me. I guess the only fleas that are loving our recent weather are the kind that only bite small, furry animals. Sadly, they're also the kind that don't respond to Frontline or flea powder the way they're supposed to, by dying. Grrrr! I wish there were some interesting things around here that have been uncovered by the weather but I don't remember hearing about anything last year when we had such a horrible drought here in Virginia. But, we do have some awesome caves that I MIGHT get to see before I'm too old to enjoy them. I don't think they'd be affected by the weather unless we had massive flooding all throughout the state.

Nothing has come up with the present weather conditions here in my country. But this weekend my friend and I went to my country's Chinatown to check on a pre-Christmas bazaar that has been set up near our historic Binondo (Chinatown here in the Philippines) church. I am half Chinese and I am very much familiar with the old buildings that stand on this area because fifty years ago, this was our business district. The only sad thing is that our government and I think most Filipinos do not appreciate such historical places. The old buildings are now condemned, waiting to be torn down to be replaced with high rise buildings. It's such a shame when no one appreciates these when these are part of your history.

Not that I know of as of now...but there is a lake here and looking out into it there are these huge concreted tower looking things sticking up. I guess at one time it was a farmers town and those are old silos sticking up from the water.

Thirty years ago. In my country if you say theirs signal number one typhoon. Every body is scared. Because its a strong typhoon and its seldom happens. But now We even experience signal number four. Just imagine that. Also. Our soil also sinking. Some area has low as one feet. Just imagine that.

I live here in Texas also and I had heard nothing about this. I find that really interesting as I love learning more about old abandoned towns and this goes right along with that. I guess all these towns are being uncovered farther south because up here in North Texas I have not heard about anything like that. Maybe I will research a little and see what all I can find out and if anything like that has happened up this direction. Happy Mylotting!

wow that is something. I live on the island of Montreal, no water problems here. But we are having warmer weather than we should be having for this part of the year.

I saw this earlier today, the article on aol. I read it, thought it was pretty neat! Uncovered Ghost Towns and American History that can be uncovered and figured out! Nope, nothing new uncovered on here.

I enjoyed reading the information about what has been uncovered by the drought, but I have nothing to add.

wow that is so cool. wish i could explore also. i didnt know that was happening. in fact its also a bit scarey. hope you get some rain soon. strange. when i lived in Houston years ago, all it did was rain it seemed like.

The other day I was reading stories on the drought in Texas. I did not know that alot of those lakes were man made! With the drought graves, old towns and anicent indian artifacts,to name a few things,have been discovered or rediscovered! They even said they have arrested a number of people for trying to steal artifacts form those dried up lakes! I think it is amazing! Right now I can't think of anything interesting like this happening where I live!

Nothing new has been "uncovered" but yes, climates have changed perceptibly. :(

It seems in Pennsylvania we are having more rain than usuall. It seems to rain 3 or 4 days a week. I guess we are getting ours and yours. So far anyway the winter doesn't seem to bad. We are having a lot of rain, but it could be snow. There is nothing really new here except the change in the weather.
