Yes, this sounds like a headline that maybe Wonkette would write, but this time it’s true. Maryland has ordered Lake Needwood to be drained as part of a corrective action following the flooding in Montgomery county this past week.
But, where does the lake drain to? I’m not exactly sure, but I have a feeling there isn’t a plug that some scuba diver when down and pulled. Anyhow, Lake Needwood will be dry while they fix the leaks that developed during the flooding this week, with no current timetable for restoring the lake.
Hat Tip to Hello, MoCo for this one.
