Drought exposes historic Pennsylvania town submerged since the 1940s

A severe drought in Pennsylvania has revealed the remnants of the historic town of Somerfield, which was submerged in the 1940s. Visitors are now able to see the Great Crossings Bridge, built in 1818, as water levels drop. Hundreds of people have been visiting the site at Youghiogheny River Lake to witness the unusual phenomenon. The drought has caused water levels to recede significantly, exposing parts of the town that are usually underwater. Somerfield was intentionally flooded to create the lake, and the current drought has made this historic site accessible for the first time in decades.
