The solution is of course more oil drilling and burning more coal.
Blame the immigrants...blame the immigrants
This is how it starts. Begun, the water wars have
It seriously worries me since my country has the largest fresh water reserves in the world, it would become a battleground
What country? Asking for a friend...
Alrighty Yoda, calm down
I'm in Washington state. Before spring, we were told that we were in a drought due to low snow accumulation. Entire summer had fewer than 5 decent rain falls. I live in a rural area, and the risk of fire terrifies me.
Thats really surprising. Here in central oklahoma, weve had i think 5 tornadoes in 2 weeks. Each one has been accompanied by massive rainfalls, i nearly crashed my car about a week ago because the rain got so bad while i was driving.
Super quick rains wash away very quickly. Not enough time to soak into the soil so they don't lessen a drought very much. Need snow accumulating in high country, too, which isn't happening.
It soaks into my serpentine belt just fine :(
Alaska and Kentucky are the two.
Thanks!
I'm surprised cause Arizona has been getting small bits of rain here and there almost every week, and it literally never rains here ever.
Think we can get all 50 next year?
Probably.
I kinda like that. My house is in the flood prone area
Drought makes floods worse. When the rain does come the dry land can't absorb as much of the water so it has nowhere to go but into the lakes and rivers.
