| nice link! just how is drought levels determined there? i noticed it
| said local conditions vary. locally, not only are the crops & pastures
| suffering, but the wells, rivers, streams, etc. are drying up.
| currently, our area is down by nearly 17 inches in the rain-fall

So doesn't that mean that they've seen it before now? To have not seen it
in years? Ebb and flow.
