Climatologists, like meterologists, are at best, guessers. Good year for

Yes, we lost some wells out here. Dried up. Lakes down 32 feet. Blah,
blah, blah.

Yet, rained and rained and rained this spring into early summer.

Point being, your area may be a dust bowl for a decade. Or, it may bounce
back next season. Just don't count on the guessers to forecast it
correctly
short-term or long-term.

Thus, one must plan and prepare for either possibility, or all
possibilities......something to which we have become unaccustomed.

Some possibilities are feasible, and one can prepare for them. Yet, many do
not out of choice.
Some possibilities are feasible, but, some cannot due to the financial
burdens.
Some possibilities are feasible, and obviously real when they apparently
happen. Yet, some ignore them. Like driving through a rain-swollen creek
to be swept away.
Some possibilities are feasible, but, cannot be prepared for. The 30's dust
bowl is an example.
