I remember when Georgia suffered the type of drought they are having in the middle of the country now. They said it would take 3 or 4 Issac-like storms to get the water table back to normal.
Even though the drought officially ended 3 years ago we still collect shower water to flush the toilets and water our plants with air conditioner runoff. It’s like being traumatized.
We always try to be pretty conservative with water due to being on a well, and several neighbors had wells that went dry during the time we have lived here.
We did have our well drilled pretty deep to begin with, but no since wasting water.
It's truly surreal to watch every living thing struggle to survive. I can't contemplate yet the end of the high temps and little to no rain, because I'm not there yet... Here south of KCMOMetro it was 100 degrees yesterday... it will take a lot of rain just to soften the ground.
We are getting light rain from Isaac at the moment with east winds. That is not a common occurrence. The forecast is maybe a total of one inch of rain by the time Isaac moves through.
