This is the third year of drought in California. Very little rain and no snowpack.

Yes, but is that relevant for retirees?

I mean, unless you are in the agricultural business, what impact does a drought have on the average Joe?

Sorry if that's a dumb question!

Regards,

Cities start imposing restrictions that affect your daily life. Can’t water your lawn. Can’t wash your car. Can’t hose anything down.

California is thought to have had very long droughts in the past. If this starts stretching out to the decade mark I suppose the giant megalopolis of SoCal could start running out of water in a far more serious way.
