Tennessee town has run out of water

Tennessee town has run out of water
By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writer

ORME, Tenn. - As twilight falls over this Tennessee town, Mayor Tony Reames drives up a dusty dirt road to the community's towering water tank and begins his nightly ritual in front of a rusty metal valve.

With a twist of the wrist, he releases the tank's meager water supply, and suddenly this sleepy town is alive with activity. Washing machines whir, kitchen sinks fill and showers run.

About three hours later, Reames will return and reverse the process, cutting off water to the town's 145 residents.

The severe drought tightening like a vise across the Southeast has threatened the water supply of cities large and small, sending politicians scrambling for solutions. But Orme, about 40 miles west of Chattanooga and 150 miles northwest of Atlanta, is a town where the worst-case scenario has already come to pass: The water has run out.

The mighty waterfall that fed the mountain hamlet has been reduced to a trickle, and now the creek running through the center of town is dry...

Thanks for the thread, kurth.

Over the underground water supply.
They know what's happening- tough shit to the rest of us.

Things are not looking good, are they?
The evil bastards have known this was going to happen for
a long time- still they did nothing but steal this country
blind and prepare for the survival of their families.
The rest of us are clearly on our own.
Katrina victim response anyone?
That's our future.
When the shit hits the fan for the common serfs,
we will be on our own.
On our own.
No help pending.
They'll be long gone.
