I noticed you are north of Houston on your about page. Our daughter lives in Katy, and she said it is drier than she has seen the past two years.
We are 35 miles NW of Austin in the hill country. The news had an article yesterday that said our area is one place that could be devastated by wildfires.
People in the neighborhood say it has been about 5 years since we had a wet year. Quite a change from the 60+ inches per year that we got in Mobile. There, 40 inches per year was considered a dry year.
