Here in Houston we have already lost huge 150+ year old oaks and mature pines. Gone dead not coming back. It is heart breaking to drive through Memorial Park in the middle of town and see the dead trees. I think we are still 30” behind our normal annual rain. I think I just heard a local TV weather mans say that because of weather patterns for next year do not look good for an end to the drought. I hope I misunderstood him.
You didn’t misunderstand. I’ve been hearing that, too. I know you guys are really stressed down there.
We’ve had less than 5 inches since September, 2010. So many dead trees, no undergrowth in the pastures and dead lawns as far as the eye can see, even before winter-kill.
We need a miracle!
