Drought Effects Anyone?

We are having a severe lack of rain in the Mountain State (WV) right now.  Today,  on the job,  I walked across a river in my work boots and did not even get the top of my boots wet.  This same river is normally about six to seven foot in depth at this location.  Anyone else with this problem this year?  Come on Rain!!! :-/

Mowed my yard twice in the last two months.

Just leaves more time for fishing.   ;)

Meanwhile Missouri farmers had a hard time getting their crops planted because we had no dry days. Now they are hoping for more rain for other reasons. Looks like we are getting it this week though.

We haven't had rain here in Orange County, Va for a week. All my plants in the garden are wilting, I watered them last night, looks like I need to do it again tonight...

Come on RAIN!!!  8-)

PS: It makes no sense, we've had tons of thunderstorms all around us but none dropped any rain!!

I've had 14 + inches this month.   >:(  There are parts of two fairways that I haven't mowed since mid May!!  Geuss what, it's raining right now.

Drought ? where ? it 's been two weeks in a row that 's been raining cats and dogs, have to mow the lawn twice a week or it becomes a jungle in an eyeblink.

 Pretty dry here in west TN. Not cutting the grass so often and going fishing would be a good idea if all the ponds and small lakes weren't falling faster than you can cast ;)...

                                           As Ever,

It has been bone dry here in central NC for the past few months. Finally we are starting to get the afternoon thunderstorms though, and that has helped in the past few days. I went to a local river about a week ago which is normally 4-5 ft. in most places, but now its down to less than 1 foot.

2007 saw Florida experience it's worst drought ever recorded.

But the rains have started.  My home lake is up about a foot and a half from it's low point during the worst of the drought.  Still need a bunch more rain to get back to normal, but things are looking up.

Wait until the hurricane season starts Avid, you 'll have plenty of water when that begins.  ;)
