2 Chronicles 7:14
King James Version (KJV)
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Well it might just be a good thing HRH The Sheriff of the Food Police Bloomberg is about to outlaw pop corn any way.
If this disaster (largest ever) is bigger than Katrina, where is my trailer?
Crops are gone around here. Small trees are dying now.

God has a history of using droughts as a warning to His people that His patience is running out!
Yeah, something like this happened in the days of King David of Israel, and he sought the Lord’s advice. God gave him an answer.
Yes, God is not happy with America!
Wait until the glaciers arrive. No more drought.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD. Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands. (Hag 1:7-11)
We moved to central KY from Seattle last year. I used to tell my friends in Seattle that we never have to water our lawns here, but the last few weeks saw them go brown. We have been getting plenty of rain, however, starting last week.
Well, by “plenty of rain” I mean it’s back to normal. The lawns are already greening up nicely and I had to more yesterday.
—For example, in Germany farmers are actually experiencing a full-blown plague of rats. —
Well, at least they taste good, depending on the sauce.

When did american farmers go back to relying on rain? Last I heard they had invented something called CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION.
I think this article is a crock.
I agree. Although we have had droughts before, I remember 1988 for instance, there is no doubt in my mind that God’s anger against this country is burning.
We got some rain in Ohio over the weekend. The areas that got the most of it were the areas where the Amish live. Seriously.
Here in central KY a lot of people planted early because of the unseasonably warm spring. Most of their corn was already showing nicely developing ears before the drought started. I understand that the more mature the corn is, the less of an impact the drought has on it.
