Drought-stricken Lake Mead falls to a level not seen since 1937
Oddly, the drought's latest milestone arrived on a rainy day. Just before noon Sunday, as thunderstorms closed in on the area, the surface of Lake Mead slipped three one-hundredths of an inch to a new low not seen for a lifetime. The reservoir on the Colorado River hasn't been down this far since 1937, when it was being filled for the first time behind the newly completed Hoover Dam.
