The drought is hurting the wildlife badly. I have seen several deer and bobcats in town this month and I have never seen a deer in this county in 20 years.

They are being driven toward the population centers looking for food and water.

It's bad out there, but it's a dry heat ☺

In spite of the relentless heat and lack of rain, several of the comments are inspiring and typical of the can-do spirit and faith of Texans:

I believe the answer is to get on our knees and pray to the One who can solve this problem for us, Allmighty God!

Personally I refuse to quit. I will hang on, pray and believe God will lead us through this.

We need to hang together and help each other out, that's what makes us special!

As for the people that have no idea what kind of sacrifices ranchers make year round in order to put food on the table for their families, you couldn't walk a mile in their shoes. They are just doing what ever it takes to make a living and my hat goes off to them...GOD BLESS TEXAS

I just drove past a creek bed a few min ago and the vegetation along the banks was dead and dying.

Cottonwoods are dropping their leaves as if it was autumn.

The mesquite beans are just about gone and the prickly pear will will be eaten up soon.

How does 0bama do it?

Seems we’ve had nothing but one crisis after another
since he took over our lives.

One does wonder if the anti-Christ is close by.

It almost makes you wish for a weak hurricane or tropical storm to push inland at the Texas coast...something with a lot of rain and not so much wind to dump a few inches of rain at least. Wouldn’t end the drought but could at least save what’s left.

Isn’t that one of the reasons the Texas longhorn was once common?

I’ve got a bucket of water I keep full, in the woods in front of the house. The critters are becoming very anxious, and it’s the least I can do.

It’s bad. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it so dry.

When Katrina hit New Orleans, one deranged liberal talker was claiming that the Evil Bush steered the hurricane toward New Orleans.
Why not pin the drought on Barry Dunham since he hates Texas.

The 'Great Plains' is a savanna (grassland) for a good reason. It does not support tree growth. The reason is because it is naturally subjected to droughts which kill trees. Grasses survive droughts much better than trees.

If Kansas did not naturally suffer regular droughts, it would support forests instead of savanna (grasslands). If you can't tolerate droughts, don't live in Kansas.
