Oops, I meant "severe drought," not "extreme drought" which I mistakenly said.
It's thunderstorming again, for the umpteenth day in a row, and all that wet drought stuff from the sky is beating down outside my window again, parching the ground with it's droughty-dryness.
(I keed, I keed. I have no idea how people measure how much water we're supposed to have compared to what we actually have. It's just amazing that we're listed as "severe drought" when this is the norm around here. Three summers ago we did have a fantastically unusual span without rain. We went like two months without a major rain. Basically unheard of for this area. We seem to have an unusually high amount of thunderstorms last year and this year so far. I hope this stops before I leave today, because the roads on this side of campus flood easily, and this lame rental car I have isn't going to make it through that like my truck would.)
I see Harris County (Houston) is not listed as in a drought. In general, we get about the same weather as they do since we're not far away. I wonder why we're "drought" and they're not.
