Re: Drought

Good to hear Freeztar, hope you continue to get some more rain that can soak in

Re: Drought

Well, it's that time of year again.

NE Georgia is in extreme drought, which is categorized as once in 50 years. Lake Lanier (which supplies Atlanta's drinking water) is at record low levels.

Re: Drought

I'm driving down that way next week, will pass through Georgia and Atlanta on I85 on my way to Auburn Al, (where I grew up). From what I hear the situation in Alabama isn't much better.

I was hoping the recent rain would continue and relieve the drought.

I know you don't believe in this, and neither do I, but I will do a rain dance once I get down there...

Re: Drought

Yeah, Alabama isn't too happy with us. It's a difficult situation. They are definitely hurting as well (especially the area you are headed to).

They're saying that the only way we can get out of the drought is if a tropical storm comes and dumps on us for a while. Even then, the situation looks bleak.
