Florida and Georgia are suffering drought conditions because of the dearth of Altantic hurricanes this year, simple as that. You have to ask them which way they want it??

Atlanta votes for the hurricanes! Secondary tornadoes pogo-stick over my house anyway.

Lets be honest here...for 30 years...both Georgia and Florida knew they had a booming population...and didn’t readily build any reservoirs. They were living within the 1940’s planning structure. You have the same case with Tucson/Phoenix, Vegas, Dallas, Nashville and dozens of major cities in the US. We have millions upon millions of acres where reservoirs could be built. Alabama alone....could host 400,000 acres of lakes throughout the state. Think of the fishing and boating opportunities that you generate...more tourism and you have a stock of water waiting to pump off to Atlanta (for a fee, of course). But you don’t see anyone talking reservoirs...they all want some technology development to fix the problem.
