Drought stricken corn withers in a field in Linton, N.D., Wednesday, July 26, 2006. Fields of wheat, durum and barley in the Dakotas this dry summer will never end up as pasta, bread or beer. What is left of the stifled crops has been salvaged to feed livestock struggling on pastures where hot winds blow clouds of dirt from dried-out ponds. (AP Photo/Will Kincaid)

We've gotten plenty of water here. I got caught in a damn near flash flood yesterday.

[Cindy]

Giggling...I think I'll go out and water my lawn for the third time today.

[Southack]

So what happened to all those cries of more hurricanes this year?!

...how quickly the news media forgets yesterdays claims of "The Sky is Falling!"

[Mike Darancette]

Is that why watermelons are so expensive?

AP is on the doom & gloom thing again.

not a word about the solar warming period we have entered.

Here in Georgia we just had a massive rainstorm....I am not sure about any drought here. As for the rest of the country, when you consider that everything West of the 100th Parallel (basically Kansas and west) is a Desert it doesn't surprise me. Any place that has less than 10 inches of rain a year is a desert. Georgia is quite well here.

Joe Bastardi (sp?) basically said this on FOX News in the spring.
Folks need to look at what the weather was like in the 1930 (my folks
talk about 1936 as hellish).
IIRC, even the Pacific Northwest dried up and burned a good bit.

You can't repeal the business cycle.
Or weather fluctuations.

We've had a severe drought in NM for the last few years. That said, we're now in what appears to be an extended monsoon season. All the fire bans have been lifted across the entire state. It rains daily now. :o)

[A message]

Maybe Ohio and Indiana can ship them some water. Those states have had more than enough this summer.

9 inches of rain in Ohio and Indiana

Dusty Skies

Dusty skies, I can't see nothin' in sight.
Good old Dan, you'll have to guide me right.
If we lose our way, the cattle will stray,
And we'll lose them all tonight.

Yes, all of the grass and water is gone.
We'll have to be moving on.

Sand blowing, I just can't breathe in this air;
Thought it would soon be clear and fair.
But dust storms played hell
With land and folks as well.
Got to be moving somewhere.

Hate to leave the old ranch so bad.
But I've got to be moving somewhere.

So get along, dogies,
We're moving off of this range.
Never thought as how I'd make a change.
But the blue skies have failed, so we're on our last trail
Underneath these dusty skies.

...since the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, Johnson said...shhhh - don't tell the Globalwarmists.....

[armymarinemom]

In Maine:
Today- rain
Yesterday -rain
Day before yesterday -rain
I guess we are hording rain.

[BigBobber]

We had record rainfall and snow pack in California this year.

[Lancey Howard]

The east coast has had one of the sickest summers in memory, with rain nearly every afternoon and evening. May and June were total washouts. I coached a baseball team and fully half of our games were rained out and had to be made up. Due to make-up games getting rained out, we never did get all our games played.

Send some of that drought this way.

[ladyinred]

Yes, this is normal stuff. But this is also what the rats are hanging their hats on for election day. That is why we are suddenly bombarded with "global warming" propaganda.
