Lake Fisher (fish lake) in Texas turned blood red this summer. This may not be an omen of the end of the world, but it certainly is the end of the popular fishing and recreation spot in this place
The drought almost completely dried up a reservoir at San Angelo State Park in West Texas. The remaining water in the lake is full of dead fish, and its color has become opaque and blood red.
Believers in the approach of the apocalypse have already stated that the blood-red water in the lake is an early sign of the approaching end of the world. However, Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries officials explain that the blood-red water in the fish reservoir is the result of a multiplication of the bacteria Chromatiaceae, which thrive in oxygen-deprived water.
The sight is terrifying - a dead fish swims in the blood-red water of a very dry lake in Texas.
Texas is experiencing a very severe drought this summer. 75 percent of the state's land area has experienced a very severe drought. The condition was expected to improve last week with the arrival of a tropical cyclone. However, the tropical cyclone brought only light rainfall to coastal areas.
The drought has severely affected many bodies of water in West Texas. Last year, Lake Fisher (fish lake) was rich in catfish, perch and other fish popular with fishermen. This year, even officials admit that the view of the lake “is rather nauseous: a dead fish swimming in blood-red water.
Since last week, all that remains of the lake is a tiny shallow pond a few feet deep and thousands of dead fish and no sign of life. And now the water in the lake is also blood red.
Photos of a blood-red lake with dead fish quickly spread across fishing forums, one of which was seen by Paul Bigley. The preacher said in his video speech that the lake may be a sign of the approaching apocalypse, as predicted in the biblical book of Revelation, and perhaps the end of the world or the Day of Judgment is near.
“The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and the water in the sea turned into blood, like that of a dead man, and all living things died in the sea,” Begley quoted the Bible. "The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers, and the springs of water turned to blood."
Begley's predicted end may not come, but as long as the drought persists, Lake Fisher in Texas is an eerie blood pool of dead fish.
