droughts come and go.
It has been severe in Texas for the past few years.
The midwest got whacked hard this year.
They had them in Biblical times way before industrialization
We are currently in one of the great north american droughts.
This is not a Dust Bowl stage drought though but it could be if we also had drought in the North East and South Forida as well as the Northern Great Plains, Southern Great Plains, Central Great Plains, Ohio Valley, SE, SW, California and PAC NW
That would be evidence of continuing patterns of dry winds sufficient to reduce ground water to ziperooni
I"d suggest everyone keep their eyes on thisnext year. Today we had snow of some kind show up in 34 different states ~ and that's from COLD DRY AIR ~ widespread ~ and yet little moisture moving in from the ocean. This is drought weather.
Watch those 10 day weather forecasts. Intellicast has them localized.
