I wonder if they were citing the drought as proof of global warming.
It’s amazing to see just how green Texas is right now in satellite photos that show vegitation growth.

After living through “droughts” in CA and NM that seemed to last longer than “normal” years, I’ve decided that drought-like conditions are normal, and lots of rain is not.
So instead of “drought” and “normal” rainfall, let’s be realistic.
It ought to be “normal” (previously “drought”) and “wet” (previously “normal”).
I think a philosophic approach like this will lead to more realistic assessment and planning when it comes to fresh water in the West.
That’s because Bush is having Rove use that hurricane-steering device to bring rains to TX.
Droughts suck, but correcting them in a month or so isn’t much fun either.
And we’re also getting a break from the normal 100 plus degree temperatures.
It’s been a reasonably cool but humid summer.
ping!
How’s the cotton crop going around Swinney Switch and points south? Everything looked real nice a couple of weeks ago but it’s been raining ever since. Last year nobody made a crop. This year too much rain.
We are in a ten year Rain Cycle for good rain.
We used to joke in California that the sign in front of the agency that reports on such things said Drought on one side and Flood Control on the other, just like your diswasher has a tag for clean and dirty.
I’m on the ground and can confirm this report. Back to you.
It’s just like the government to certify us as being “drought free” right after monsoon season is over. I don’t expect to see appreciable rainfall for another 2 months.
