Drought Emergency

[rrshock]

Got several ponds that are either completely dry, or very close to it. The little showers recently may jumpstart a few of the grass varieties. Out here, there is no one still living who can remember it being this bad. Irrigation may play a part in that, but most streams are not running at all.

I believe you are close with the irrigation. Also the red cedars take alot of water from the ground too.

They all do, red cedars may be the worst. A Nice tree in the right place is a wonderful thing. A beautiful tree in the wrong place is an abomination.

Great Depression-esque outside right now.

Nothing says drought like a big ass thunderstorm.

3.08 in nw Wichita, with 4 inches reported in some areas farther north.

But I guess if everybody didn't get it, then it doesn't count and therefore we are all in a Great Depression-like drought or Dust Bowl.

Did we ever smash the 100 degree day total like was being hyped about earlier in the summer?

It's still going to be a problem until creeks and ponds have water in them and are full. We need alot more rain still.

A couple years minimum.
