Could you please do a little research before you make such
ignorant
statements?

Found this handy webpage to assess drought conditions across the
USA. I can see why the lakes in the South are drying up!

It seems that just about every summer, just before fall, they start
worrying about water, and *usually* the fall/winter rains come and
negates those issues. But the last couple of years were different, not
much rain in winter, either. We'll see, I guess. I remember being in
the S.F. bay area and while I missed the rationing, there was a big
effort to get people to minimize water usage. They're trying here, but
outside of the criminal aspects of it, not very many people are doing
much to go above and beyond.


No, this is not the "normal" drought. We have a rain deficit of 30" for
this year. If you look at the map this is an Exceptional drought.- Hide quoted text -

I didn't say this was normal drought conditions, Reggie.
