A video making the rounds on social media is offering a vivid view of how intense dry conditions have become in parts of North Carolina, using aerial footage that reveals two major lakes pulled far back from their usual shorelines.
What’s happening?
The post from content creator and meteorologist Matthew Huddleston (@meteorologistmatthew) centers on Falls Lake and Lake Michie.
“Worsening drought has resulted in very low water levels for several central North Carolina Lakes,” Huddleston explains in the caption.
